Hey Whatcha Got There Any Treats???

Took an airboat ride through the swamps next to the Everglades. Apparently they run the same route each time, and the these little critters are part of the show. The captains carry dog biscuits as pay for their performances LOL

Very nice.

Very nice.

Thank you. Not up to your quality, but it's a little difficult to shoot in a rocking boat with a critter trying to climb up your arm, so he can check out your pockets. There was a whole family of about 7 or 8 of varying sizes. The airboats travel everyday of the year, many times daily. While cute, I'm not sure of the symbiotic relationship they have with the airboats.

Don't be hard on your self. This is a great shot taken in harder conditions then I usually face.

@zombiesniper I am my worst critic (especially when the multiple personalities kick in)

I'll be happy if I don't see any more gators for awhile. 2 weeks ago did a kayak trip down the Peace River. I think we saw about a dozen or so ranging from 3 to 6 foot, within the first hour. Just as I got comfortable with them being on eye level with me, came around a tree in the water to come nose to nose with a 14 footer sunning on a log, who's head was bigger than I was around. Luckily the current carried me out of danger, because I was to scared to do anything.

Ya, that's change the shorts moment I think I could do without.
