The following pics are from a nature preserve at the University of North Florida campus. This is right by my hotel in Jacksonville. There are several trails around here, and there are a lot of wildlife roaming around.
Now, I finally get to see a wild gator swimming and hanging around. The sign said "Don't Feed The Gators," but there were some people throwing bread crumbs and fishing lines at him and the turtles. I didn't get too close, but the opportunity was there for him to approach anyone.

Great pictures Steve - what a beautiful place!
Fishing line? Does someone need to lose a foot before they realize it's not nice to taunt the gators?
Jennifer
33 miles? That's madness!

It looks like you finally got to see your wild gator.
Ugh, just looking at that picture of the gator gives me the creeps. As a resident of Florida, I would have punched those bread-crumb idiots right in the face...they are the reason that gators are attacking people. On a less agressive note, the rest of those photos are beautiful!
