Welcome to Florida. $:-)

Anywhere, and I mean anywhere, there is any free-standing fresh water, you have to keep an eye out for gators. They're just part of the landscape. And remember -- it's usually not the gator you see that's the problem... it's the gator you DON'T see.

A sidearm in a retention holster is standard kit whenever I'm hiking or kayaking. That, along with a good dose of situational awareness.

There is a nature preserve in our area, 3 or 4 miles away… …....we use to drive around the circle and take pictures……now they make you walk!

Not as fun to walk with a 12 foot gator down the road…….and we know gators can run pretty fast!

A brave friend goes regularly and takes beautiful pictures of Florida birds, insects, baby gators and our 12 foot gator.

When my husband & I take walks in our neighborhood, there’s a sign warning us of snakes and gators!
It’s Florida!…..and we love it!
