There REALLY is a gator near here!

Karen and our oldest daughter went for a hike at the Bona Dea Trails near Russellville Saturday while I stayed home to do some work on the shop. We had heard that there was an alligator in the wildlife refuge that the trails wind through. Karen was always looking, hoping to see it everytime she was there. Of course, I was a bit skeptical that any of us would ever see it.

I was wrong!

Our daughter took these pictures yesterday. Karen estimates that it was 70 to 100 feet away. She has a post about it on her blog, too.

    Yikes! I wouldn’t want to be one of those turtles that the gator seems to be eyeing! Yikes again! Oh, and I see your daughter takes after you in the photography department. Great shots!
