I'm just kidding about "Alligator Alley," but you will see a number of gators sunning themselves as you glide quietly down the river in one of the glass bottom boats.
Did you happen to catch the NPR story on croc and allegator sounds? Amazingly entertaining. By the way, your post reminds me I need a new pair of shoes. hahahaha
I like seeing native wildlife but I can't say I'd be particularly comfortable sharing the river with critters that have teeth and jaws like that. That "smile" looks malevolent to me.
Fantastic shot, Lowell! I know I'm in the minority, but I have a great fondness for alligators and crocodiles. I'd love to see one sunning itself on a riverbank. From the safety of a boat, of course. I have no desire to get all Steve Irwin up close and personal with them. :-)

Yup, that's a gator all right.
About your comment about the local musicians, we go to performances occasionally.
Seeing an alligator would spook me, Lowell. Great job on this image!!!
You make it sound so idyllic!
Not something we see around here. Thank goodness.
Looks like he is smiling, that would be a little worrying!
wow impressive!
Please take care! Even looking this critter only in pictures can you believe that I'm scared here?
:O

I'm not sure I could get used to seeing those big lizards around. I'll just stick with our little ones.
My kind of 'safari'! :-)
Not my type of excitement. Maybe a glass bottom boat............
I think I'll keep my arms inside the boat.
Which is why I will never, ever glide in one of 'em boats...

I crossed a such big one early in the morning laying ion the 41th road in Everglades (tamiami road)...
I don't know why, but I didn't stop !
