Alexander Springs 3

This 6' Alligator is one of three that I have seen in the spring area. I have a short video of a smaller one on the video page.

I estimate this one to be in the 9-10' range. I can't say I advise being this close let alone close enough to put a tape measure on it.

Black Vultures Coragyps atratus taking an early morning bath and getting a drink. What I didn't get a photo of, was later in the day when I was coming out of the water, I found them fighting over my shoes. Some had laces and others the tongue. They were pulling and tearing as hard as they could in an attempt to get a piece to eat. Which shows if you wear running shoes a couple of days without socks, they start to smell dead. The shoes held up pretty good. Maybe I should contact Nike about an idea for a commercial?

More to come
