May be of interest to wildlife fans. A few wildlife photos taken whilst walking various trails during the past week in Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. All were taken in the wild including the alligator photos (not interested in seeing captive ones).

Good photos there. Never realised insects could be so photogenic.
