Reptiles
I was looking at photos of
Florida (it was 11°C - 52°F here for the past few days while the rest of North
America is having a heat wave) and decided to share a few photos of reptiles
enjoying the sun on a February day. I noticed the two alligators and a few
turtles on the bank of a pond and approached them slowly. Only one turtle
stayed there and with my 18-200 mm lens I was able to get a few close views. Of
course, I didn't want to get too close to the alligator, one of which I
estimated to be around 8 feet long. Eventually these animals got nervous and retreated into the
pond.
I have
observed alligators many times during my Florida trips and usually they will get
nervous if I get close, but only one came out of the water and approached me.
