gator in green

This critter swam alongside our air boat in the Everglades on my last outing there before the storms of September '04. In fact, this was shot as we dodged thunderstorms from the feeder bands of Frances approaching. Our guide told us we were going to get a big storm or 2 before the season was over. He knew this because the gators had built their nests higher on the banks. And, we think we need satellites. . .
