Very large alligator

This reptilian monster was sunning one late afternoon at a pond in Venice, Florida. He could be close to 14 feet long. Biggest alligator I've ever seen.

An osprey having an afternoon snack in South Florida. Beautiful and powerful birds. Watching him fly out of the water with his talons clutching this prey was awe-inspiring.

A white ibis feeds at the Celery Fields outside of Sarasota, Florida. The blue eye was a surprise to me...perhaps reflecting off the water.

Very early morning light gives a soft palette with which to work. I happened to be sitting nearby and the great egret walked to within 15 feet of me. I missed her catch of a minnow a moment later.

Portrait of a great blue. He kept his eye on me as I tried not to move. An instant later he was gone. Challenging to get this close to a great blue.

Spring is here as this 100 year old azalea will attest. The super soft pink blush makes this a spectacular bush when it decides to fully bloom.

I suspect this is a white admiral butterfly, but I think I will need someone far more proficient in butterfly identification than I am. The underside of the wings are very different from the tops of the wings. Any thoughts?

I have always found it difficult to capture groups...on this one evening, 7 spoonbills flew in to a very small pond I happened to be close to and had my camera. Very lucky!

Roseate spoonbill territorial tiff...close up, these bird are much larger than I had imagined.

A Purple Gallinule. Its very long feet are make them adept at walking on concentrations of acquatic plants. A very distinctive red and yellow beak and bright yellow legs make them hard to miss. Celery Fields, Sarasota, Florida.
