    Huh? The weather here in South Georgia has been miserable this year! We've had more hard freezes than anyone can remember. It even spit snow one day!

    Raining today... and cold! Grrrr!:D

    gators
    This being Florida, the convenience of displaying gators must be decisive.

    I almost tripped over one on an Everglades hiking trail back in 1992. Was distracted by a Great Blue Heron.

    Crocs seem larger and inspire greater fear. I've photographed them in Australia and Africa, where one lodge featured a nightly feeding of the crocodile.

    Attached is a Croc showing its teeth from Australia's Kakadu National Park, conversion to still of a digital frame.
