Great times!
Nice meeting you too. Those were two different gators. The first one was tiny like 4 feet. The second and third picture are the same. That one was 8 to 10 feet.
I'm up for it next month foshizel.
Justin it was great seeing you again.

Apparently the gators are well fed as you all surely gave them an opportunity to eat otherwise.
I'm totally green with envy at your ability to go to the Fakahatchee whenever you please.

Thanks Chris! I do not normally adjust photos beyond the usual (contrast, brightness, burning and dodging) but this shot had such a strong shape and contrast that I had to try it in black and white!

Time to go back! I am looking to go back to the Fakahatchee Strand on Nov. 13th or the 14th. I can't miss the blooming season this year. Any takers!
