O.K. I miss my swamp!

It's been awhile since we visited St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge.  We miss our swamp.  With the possibility of seeing alligators around each bend, every visit is an adventure.

When it comes to Alligators: Don't Stand So Close To Me!

Men are from Mars.  Women are from Venus.  Alligators are from 75 million years ago.  They have a brain the size of a walnut.  When they lie in the sun, they don't appear to be doing much.  But, they are doing something.  They are waiting for you.  They want you to get just a little closer.  Alligators are ambush predators.  So, when you see them, show them a little respect and keep your distance.
