My second flat tire in five weeks. We have free flat fixing and I think I've gotten my moneys worth.

This Great Egret was minding its own business - looking down from the boardwalk

**** Warning - not for the squeamish ****

Came across this gator - couldn't figure out what he was laying on

I was able to get a side view. He has something in his mouth. Looks like tail of Iguana

Then the gator moved - not a great shot, he's under growth

Turned and headed for the water

The water was so green, you couldn't tell the gator had anything in its mouth

Saw this spider web under the trees. It had lots of rainbow colors. Looked blah at processing time, so I upped the colors.

This happened real quick. Remember the lovey, dovey Great Blue Herons I posted last month? Well, they were out and about. When they got home, they found a Cormorant sitting in their nest.

And attacked

great captures Marilynne, both the gator and the Heron.

Thanks Roy!

I had plenty of time with the gator. Totally forgot to play with the E/V for the shade. I remember to use it on cloudy days, not sure why I didn't remember for the shade.

The heron/cormorant happened quick. I probably should have focused more on getting the cormorant instead of getting the whole heron. People were screaming at the heron and I think if they had something to throw, they probably would have.
