Florida is known for its stunning beaches, vibrant wildlife, and yes, alligators! Alligators are often found lounging near ponds, rivers, and swamps, especially during sunny days when they bask in the warmth.
Our Alligator Adventure
During a recent outing, we captured some shots of alligators around local ponds. These alligators were chilling out, basking in the sun, and occasionally dipping into the water.

Explore and Respect Wildlife
When we first moved to Florida, we sat at a picnic table in one of the beautiful county parks. A man and his dog were nonchalantly walking along the edge of the nearby pond. A local resident was waving and screaming at the dog walker telling him to get away from the pond. We didn’t know it at the time, but it is not uncommon for dogs to be snatched up by alligators when they get too close to the water. Sad but true. Lesson learned.
