Those of you wondering how close we were to those alligators in the previous pics...we were at least a boardwalk level high from the water anyway...but the gators that were out a way...were about 20 feet away at least!

Did I tell you that there are also iguanas and marsh rabbits out there too? I saw one of each, but they were too quick for me to get a pic! The rabbits are especially cute!!!
OK...tomorrow will be the final installment of the views of the whole area (scenery).
Good night!!!

The odd thing is that I know what most of these are!
ReplyDeleteThe top is a water iris, sometimes called a blue flag...
The second, with the little white flowers, is the Amazon sword plant, the same kind that most of us buy in pet stores.
The third and fifth are blue pickerel.
The fourth looks like water hyacynth, but I won't know until it blooms...
The sixth is not a water lily. I recognise it, but can't think of the name to save my soul. LOL
Well, I've had my quiz for the day, how many extra credit points do I get? LOL
Claude- You get an A+ on the test!!! LOL...how cool that you knew them all...well...I'm sure you will think of the last one soon!!! You would just love going to theis place!
ReplyDeleteIt is an iris. I also see a hyacynth there. I love blue flowers.
ReplyDeleteI love the last image the most, I feel so calm.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your sharing:)
Really enjoying your trip. Claude, the fifth one down is Water Lettuce - Pistia.
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely preview of spring. I am going on vacation today. I can't wait to get to warmer climes. I hope to see each and every one of these plants while traveling.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good thing people know the names of these plants because I just look at their beauty!! Thanks for the eye candy.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to hear you weren't near those gators. (shudder)
Oh these pictures are a treat!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely place that must have been to visit
Nice warm and damp I guess.....
So much to see!
