Our gator hunt!

That's right.  Our intrepid travelers went after the big game! Gator pics at the end, but first a few facts. Cheryl took us to an innocuous looking preserve. It looked like a wide place in the road but turned out to be a beautiful peaceful nature walk. The photos do NOT do it justice.

We were amazed and delighted with the birds we saw.  They'd filled the mulberry trees that had ripe berries - a delicious meal for the flocks!  These, believe it or not, are pictures of beautiful, blue, crimson, bright yellow and white marsh birds. The birds were amazing ... Our photos are not.  So sorry. My iPad doesn't come with a telephoto lens. I will only torture you with two so you can see that they are an utter failure and know I am not keeping beautiful bird photos from you.

 

 

 

First the walking tour, only a few big ones but thankfully very far away.

BUT, Cheryl took us to a drive-through preserve where we saw 30 or 40 of all sizes, from the babies, to the Mommas to the Big Daddies.

 

I think he's smiling at me
