Of course, some people would say get out of the water, or jump back in the boat, if you have one, or even paddle on over to the next county. Those people stay on the bank and point, thankfully, and they won't be nearby making too much noise, startling things, or stirring up the bottom.The more distance you have, the better. They can move surprisingly fast. Alexander Springs Recreation Area, Ocala National Forest, Altoona Florida, USASeaLife DC1400

When the temperature is up, the local residents lounge in the water.When you're this big, you don't have to do any tricks, or even move, to still draw quite a crowd.The La Chua Trail stretches from a boardwalk near the Alachua Sink, and runs out into the surrounding prairie marsh and wetlands right along the water's edge. There's very little shade, no gates, fences, or any other barriers between you and the wildlife.

Everyone has heard of the old adage: Let sleeping dogs lie... but I think there should be an easy to remember line about leaving napping gators alone too.I'm drawing a blank; I'll have to get back to you on this one.American AlligatorAlligator mississippiensisLa Chua TrailAlachua SinkPaynes Prairie Preserve State ParkAlachua County, Florida, USAOlympus OM-D E-M5 Mark IIOLYMPUS M.75-300mm F4.8-6.7 II

Three vultures and one alligator are in a an all day standoff along the bank.The smaller alligator carcass in the big gator's mouth is much too big to swallow whole, and he's unable to tear it up into manageable chunks without risking losing a piece.We we're too far away to make out the intricacies of life and death struggle clearly, but I imagine the vultures are secretly plotting and trying to negotiate.American AlligatorAlligator mississippiensisBlack VulturesCoragyps atratusLa Chua TrailPaynes Prairie Preserve State ParkAlachua County, Florida, USAOlympus OM-D E-M5 Mark IIOlympus M.75-300mm F4.8-6.7 II
