This alligator always lets me paddle up real close to him for pics and doesn't seem to mind at all. I parked the yak about 5 ft. from him and clicked away and he never moved.

This is a hurried shot of a Prothonotary Warbler, the first I've ever seen around here. Quite beautiful.

This in an imature Tri-colored Heron that I found soaking up the early morning sun.

Conditions were perfect for a paddle: cool temps and still waters that I had all to myself.

These are Redbud trees, although they have lavender/purple flowers in the Spring.
