WC 643

Taken last year in Everglades National Park, designated as a Wetland of International Importance. Millions visit each year, not for the grand vistas or towering mountains, but for the diversity of wildlife in the park's many habitats.
This iconic resident was resting comfortably just a short walk down from the Royal Palm Visitor Center. He was about 60 feet away, but much of the wildlife is closer because they are so accustomed to people walking by. I left this post untitled to give viewers the opportunity to come up with their own .
Powershot SX30, fixed zoom lens at 878mm equiv., HH, ISO 80, f/8.0, 1/40; sharpened in PSE. Comments and suggestions always welcome and thanks for viewing.
