Hi Y'all,

Black Point Drive used to be where all the action was on Merritt Island but no more. E. Gator Creek Rd had lots of photo ops when I visited it with Andy and Ian.

In case you were wondering why they call it Gator Creek rd.

That gator is awesome, in a massive way. :agree with Skippy - your birds, as always, are great, but that crawly thing is just killer (no pun intended there).

Excellent series.

Thanks John but that is a very silly question. Everyone knows that Andy eats more than most of the earth's known species. I think a whale might give him a run for his money but that's about it. :rofl

:lol4

That's a perfect Andy, Ian. Dead on. Usually when one shoots one has to think about exposure, shutter speed, aperture, ISO and the like. When you shoot with Andy you also need to have the location of every nearby restaurant and Starbucks handy too. Not to mention the fluffy blanket for nap time. :rolleyes

Thanks Skippy. That was one of the bigger gators I have run across. I know you love your creepy crawlies and would love to get more pics of them but usually the only time I see them they are being eaten by one of the birds. :D

Thanks Scott. I lucked out on that gator shot. They are usually asleep and don't give you that much to shoot.
