Views of Paradise .... Alligator Country 02-14-2010

Howdy folks,

Took a drive to Alligator Country earlier today to see what I could see. Went down Hwy 41 into the Everglades and I believe at least 1/3 of Naples did the same .... LOTS of people going to check out the wildlife.

Weather is a tad cold with partly cloudy skies. The gators started to come out around noon time to warm themselves up in the sunshine.... at least when the sun was out.

Here are some pics...

First photo is the boardwalk in the fakahatchee strand..

Took this pic from about 4 feet away. He was roughly 8ft long or longer!!

Smallwood General Store ... Now a museum.
