My wife and I were at Myakka State Park last week. We got there about 2:30 or 3:00 PM and didn't think we'd see much that time of day but we had a great afternoon seeing lots of wildlife. Here's a sampling of what we saw.

Give the guy a break, most of the time gators are boring to shoot they just lie there doing nothing interesting. As an immigrant from england I always thought they would be exciting to shoot but they're not.

Thanks everyone for your comments. Sparker1, we did see some gators in the Myakka River but I didn't take any pictures of them. Here's picture #3 enlarged.
