Reflections

Just a shot of a bird and its reflection.

A Little Guy

This is a very young alligator. It is only about three or four feet long. You can tell it is a youngster because it still has its stripes.

A Big Guy

This alligator is about seven or eight feet long. I think I have seen this animal in other parts of the park on other occasions.

Feed Me!

This guy flew up and sat on the railing of the walkway about six feet from me. He looked at me and made a growling sound. I didn't know if he wanted fed or wanted me to get out of his territory. In any case I did not like the idea that he was tame enough to get that close.

Getting Ready to Flower

Just a water lily bud. I don't know how long it takes them to bloom, but here is one on the way.

A Loving Couple

I went back to Wakodahatchee two days ago to see if anything had changed. Actually, lots of things had changed. This pair of very large birds have moved in. The male, on the right, flew to the shore after I took this picture. His wing span must be between three and four feet. I really think they are beautiful.
