I took a drive out to Big Cypress early this morning and after yesterday's rain storms the water was still pretty deep in places.
I got into a race with a gator swimming in the road. He finally headed for deeper water.

Found a dry place to get out and stretch.

Managed to get fairly close to this guy before he bolted.

And who says there's no hills in S. Florida? I thought I was going to get a nosebleed from the altitude!
Ok, ok, it's just a berm around the wildlife refuge
