Nice pics and looks like you had a good time. Was the Iguana someone's pet? I read somewhere so many of them have either escaped or been let loose that they have quit trapping them. It's almost like they are being considered a native species.

We saw the aligator at Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge! It was HUGE, I was so happy we were on a dock at least 15' up!

What part of Florida where you in? How was the weather? I really enjoyed the summer weather their. It was a bit to humid for my taste, but other then that I like it.

We were on the East Coast in Delray Beach, in early May
(It took me a while to get these posted!) It rained pretty much the entire time we were there! We ran out inbetween rainstorms to do things

Danielle those are fabulous pictures!! I loved the dragonflies!!

Our gators aren't quite that big here, just 4 or 5 feet. You can see them walking across the golf courses in this part of Florida. My dad couldn't believe it when it just walked in front of them while they were teeing off.

Thank you! But I don't think I could continue golfing if I saw a gator run past me! (I could barley stay on the dock!)

They continued sort of...
They packed up their clubs and high tailed it to the golf cart and skipped that hole.

They came across a beer girl with a radio and let her know what was waiting at the 7 tee box. She told them he's a regular and someone would go out a shoo him back into the water hazard.
