Amazing Nature!

I learned a lot about alligators 🐊 from a new friend, Felipe Correa, nature photographer and tour guide who let my wife and I use his camera as he showed us around the Everglades on an airboat.

I invite you to visit Felipe’s virtual gallery, here:

Unlike crocodiles, gators are less aggressive and more curious — you can also identify them by their U shaped snout vs the crocodile’s pointy one.

Our other tour guide was an American Indian & something of a gator whisperer, who grew up with them. This gentle soul said that he had to give up eating gator meat so that he could commune with them as a friend, not a predator.

As part of our tour we visited a small island, where even the crickets seemed enchanted.

Still discovering Florida and its wonders, after all these years of living here…
