This is one of those ‘ freeze frame’ moments from a while back.

Did we really just witness this?

The majestic glide by of two adult alligators 🐊

This is at the bottom of our yard on our waterway.

Moments like this never cease to amaze me.

A first see here. 🦅

A recent guest sent me these pics.
I’ve never seen a bald eagle here before.

Landed on the far bank and appears to have caught a large 🐟

Wish I’d witnessed it myself !

Usually we see only a single 🐊 on its own.

Something unique though, when you see two glide by.

Guessing male and female?
The direction is from the canal opposite where they nest.

Coming up for air 🐠

Not easy to see, zoom in.

My understanding is certain fish in Florida come up to the surface to breathe air because they live in warm, stagnant, or low-oxygen waters.

A short drive away is one of several gorgeous white sandy beaches.

There is something about gazing into the expanse of the Gulf waters.

And the sea this time of year is just so warm ☀️

Sometimes the simple things are a joy to see🙂

These guys are not easy to film.

Their little heads appear and bob away in the water.

Turtles can sense you from a distance and disappear in a split second.

Some times they come onto the bank where we can get a sighting.
