Sunday we met Tracy's high school friend and her husband for a boat tour and walk in the Myakka River State Park, about an hour from where we are staying in Florida. The photo opportunities on the boat were not frequent enough to get five in five minutes, but afterwards we walked out to an observation deck next to the weir and I was able to capture 5 in 5.
The first photo shows an inlet to the fresh water lake (behind me) where there were a variety of birds congregated.
This is a wood stork, not as sharp as I would have like.
A white egret in the air, and a blue heron on the shore.
I'm not sure what kind of snake this is, but he was having a feast with the hundreds of minnows swimming along the shore.
This was taken when I turned around toward the lake which is filled with alligators. I took several photos of the alligators sunning on the shores of the lake, but this photo might be my favorite.
I'm linking up to Sandie's Five in Five for March with thanks for hosting another great photography meme.
