The squirrels were busy grooming and eating.
Plants along the trail.
Roadblock on the trail. I was almost all the way down Marsh Rabbit Run trail when I saw this. My choices were to sit and wait and see if he moves or turn around and go back. I sat down on trail for about 15 minutes when a park ranger came from the other side of the trail in a cart and spooked the gator off the trail. The park ranger said he slept there for over 2 hours the day before. I probably would have given up and turned around after half an hour if the ranger hadn’t come by. That little moorhen was not as close as it looks in the shot. He was busy preening and ignoring the gator.

I’m sure I would have turned around immediately and run all the way back. Nice shots. Beautiful flowers.
I’ve never seen a gator outside of a zoo, and never want to! YIKES!

The gators are in charge of their domain aren’t they! ? 🙂
Great shot i would have been probably scared that there were more of those fellows and turned around and got out of there!
Such a cute squirrel and pretty flower! I’m torn between fear and sorrow for interrupting the gator’s nap!
