So I live in Florida. It has its benefits. For example, last weekend I went walking around Myakka State Park with Barry and his family. Whenever you walk in a park in Florida with water, you're really looking for one thing: Gators. Luckily, just about every body of freshwater in Florida has them, so you're not disappointed:
These guys were hanging out, sunning themselves about 30 feet away from us. I wanted to get closer for a good head shot, but Barry said I shouldn't... Oh well.
But alligators aren't the only wildlife that Myakka has to offer. Check out these shots we got of some turkey vultures:
It's also just a wonderful place to hike. They have this really neat "canopy walk" where you can walk across the tree tops. At the end is a tall tower which overlooks the entire park!
I'm so lucky to live here! So anyhow, I'll post some more exploring around Florida soon... I have got to show you what you can find on Casey Key!
