I look out our bedroom glass door and here's what we see....uh, yeah. 6-8 feet of Florida gator, heading right for the beach! He came in a bit closer after this was taken, but from here, we were about 100 feet or so from where he was. This is taken from the deck that is off of the upstairs bedroom.
There had been some otters playing in this shallow area and we saw the fins of some big shallow carp, but he just sat there. After about 10 minutes, he turned and headed back out to the deeper part of the lake....no luck this time.
Kinda creepy, but this lake is full of people on jet ski's and tubes all the time. We have a boat, but there isn't enough money anywhere to get me in that water...or any water, actually. Just remember...in Florida, if there's water, there's gators.
Oh...and sorry for the Molly Hatchett crack. For those of you that get it, it's pretty funny, right?? :)

We had gators in a drainage ditch near our home in Brandon. I well remember that...*shudder*
And "I've been to Alabama, people aint a whole lot to see;
Skynyrd says it's a real sweet home but it aint nothing to me.
Charlie Daniels will tell you the good Lord lives in Tenessee, ha!
But I'm going back to Gator Country where the wine and the women are free."
Yup....I am a music geek of sorts! : )
Love,
