5-Photo Friday #10 – Alligators

All the critters are coming out because of the weather– hot, rainy, sunny, cloudy, clear, foggy, and that’s just one Florida afternoon. I can’t even tell you how many rabbits I’ve seen, or the amount of cardinals showing up at the feeder.

But today’s post isn’t about the cute critters. Shall we take a look at the beasts (which are very fascinating, might I add!)? Here are my top 5 alligator photos from around Florida.


Sunning at Florida Caverns State Park.


Also at Florida Caverns State Park, off the side of the park road in a small pond of water, the babies.


This photo is from Payne’s Prairie State Park, Florida. Marshy water and when I blinked he was gone.


Not the best photo but I’d never seen an alligator go airborne. What we don’t see in the pic is WHY it jumped up like that. A bigger gator was underwater, moving this guy out of his way at Myakka River State Park.

As an addition to the story, this is the gator that instigated the leap.


Does it get anymore Florida than this? Alligator and a fox in one picture on the edge of a lake in north Florida.
