Ripples at Sunset

Ripples at Sunset, Everglades National Park, Florida.

A gorgeous sunset on the Pine Glades Lake at Everglades National Park – made all the more exciting by this little alligator – about 4 feet long, swimming towards us. He wanted to be quite friendly, coming almost on the shore. Our suspicion was that some other humans had fed him making him more comfortable with us and he was looking for food. As he drew nearer, we kept moving along the bank, and he kept drawing nearer to us.

After that, my thought of staying back after dark to do some night photography took a nosedive.

    This is a zoomed out shot of the same 3 trees from the prev Post I am guessing.

  3. Thanks Vikas :) You got it right. It was from the same spot, but I moved a few steps to the left for this one.
