When we arrived at Anhinga Trail today right away we started seeing gators across the lakes and canals. Some tourist asked me what kept the gators on the other side of the bank and if I thought they would visit the side where we all were walking. Well, within a few steps her question was answered by these two fairly large alligators sunbathing just off the walkway itself.

Here, I am poised to capture a recoiling American Alligator should one decide to have 6 year old boy for lunch.

After laying there catching some rayz, thwarting photo hungry tourists and my triggered camera, these pair of gators finally made their way into the brush and into the water.
