Alligators have killed 3 people here in the last week. I might start walking with a big stick now when I go out in the swamps alone.

I probably have the story wrong but it's something of that nature. Unfortunately, living in FL doesn't come without its dangers. Kerrie "PhotographyNewb"

I am not Crocodile Dundee but I have been around them my whole life and think nothing of walking within 10 feet of one sunning himself. They never bother me. Swimming in their presence is a whole other story. I aint stupid.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.

Mao Member  92 posts Joined Apr 2006 Location: Calgary, Canada More info | Fantastic shots! I lived in Texas for 5 years and I used to hike around swamps and I know what is the feeling of being close to a 'bug' like that! Now I live in Calgary, where instead of an alligator I can find moose and elk!!! Much nicer!

GaryFairhead Cream of the Crop  More info | May 17, 2006 19:33 | #14 Great shots Blue. The first one is excellent and the 3rd one you just posted is very good too. You know your environment but I imagine you would need a fair size stick to keep one of these at bay. Gary Fairhead C/C welcome .....

It is mating season, so I try not to look like a sexy alligator. Stan (See my gallery at http://www.pbase.com/sparker1
