SawGrass Park, Clearwater FL

[Gary W. Graley]

Took a walk with a friend here today, had my Canon G10
along for the ride, would have liked my 20D but, this will do
for now, here are some shots taken, and the gators here are
free roaming, I was merely feet away from them! with no fence!
I surely wished for a LONGER zoom !

The park has a very very nice walk way around, newly made I'm told

weird turtle, softshell I'm told, this one was pretty big!

looks like a dragonfly or something was hitching a ride

Here is a youngster sunning himself on the bank

a crop of that image;

another piggy back rider

More in the next post, limited to 10 images per post

across the way was another LARGER gator sunning himself

a neat view down the water way

a baby gator quickly caught as it was swimming back to his momma

and Momma is a large rascal !

and that wraps it up,

Lots of nice sheath material there Gary!!!! I took some wild life photos during my last visit to FL. Did you happen to see any Sandhill Crane?

P.S. Just be careful in clearwater...your being watched everywhere you go...and Im not talking about the Gators..

Thanks, nope, didn't see one there, not a lot out to view today
beautiful day though!
and yes, Clearwater/Largo is full of watchful eyes, had to bail
one of our guys out a while back, DUI, he wasn't very careful
came in at .23 drunk, made for a long day for me to get him out
of the Pinellas County Jail and it was not much fun for him either!
nor inexpensive!
