I headed out to the Circle B this morning mainly looking for some baby gators as I have heard that several nests had recently hatched. I ended up seeing 2 different mama gators with some babies but was not able to get a whole lot of pics of them as they were mostly hidden. Several of the trails are still closed there due to the gator nesting activity.

You live dangerously, my dear. Momma gators are very aggressive, aren’t they?
As usual, I’m forwarding these to some friends and they always comment, impressed with the photos and the explicit description of each.

The photos keep coming and I keep learning. I send your pictures out to several people who are avid nature lovers, and they never cease to be amazed by the beauty of yout photos and how much knowledge you have about such a wide variety of of insects, birds, gators and almost every creatures that roam this earth. They ask me to make sure how much joy and information they receive from your photos. I feel the same way.
