We went to Sawgrass Lake Park this spring and were able to capture the most amazing alligator pictures! If you ever travel to Florida and want to see alligators, your best chances will be in the early spring. Why? It is cooler and that is when all their babies hatch!! You will be more likely to see the mamma gator watching over the baby gator. Check out these pictures!! I thought it was pretty neat to be this close to nature (and still be alive!)

Awesome! I tried to gator shots in June but no such luck. Can't believe how small the baby is!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! I don't think you'd want to get too close! :D
ReplyDeleteThis is what I love about blogging - we see things here we would never see in our own environment! Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteFantastic shots of these creatures. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThe baby is so cute! Nice shots.
ReplyDeleteHere this week a gator ate a 4 ft tall wood stork and the leg of another - said its the screeching that gets to them small dogs as well. good to know I am 4 hrs north of Sawgrass
ReplyDeleteAwesome photos for Camera Critters.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots!I hope I could also get as close as this to nature.
ReplyDeleteVery cool! I've never seen alligators in there regular habitat.

That's pretty cool!! I think I'd be afraid to be too close, but sure does make for a good shot.
ReplyDeleteSaewgrass Lake Park (like most parks around this part of Florida) is made up of boardwalks. All the "hiking" trails are boardwalks, so you are literally walking above the alligators and snakes. Tried to get some good snake photos, but we didn't see any good ones on this visit (much to my husbands happiness, he hates snakes!)
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! The baby gator is so cute! :-)
