A Different, Yet Beautiful Eco System

[dbl]

Spent the day exploring a small section of the Florida Everglades, and thought I would share a few shots taken of yet another incredible eco system. I didn’t spend any time editing, and the lighting was terrible (mid-day), so hopefully you’ll just enjoy as is. The only fish I saw was being eaten by a Blue Gray Crane and I missed the shot!!!



This little guy obviously lost a fight (notice his right front claw, or lack thereof):

Wow that's awesome. Looks like you had a good day out there. I really enjoy exploring places and seeing things you don't get a chance to everyday. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome photos!! It seems you enjoyed a great day. Now I want to go and see it myself, ha! Poor little croc, though...
Thank you for sharing

Thanks for the comments. I apologize, as I just noticed I posted this in the photography forum. I meant to post in the lounge, since it’s no reef related.

I’m fortunate enough that this area of the Everglades is kind of in my back yard - well a 30 minute drive anyway! We’ve been on numerous occasions and it never ceases to amaze me what you can see with each visit. Although, it’s the first time I’ve seen a three-clawed alligator!
