Everglades

Last weekend Erick and I went with some friends to Shark Valley in the Everglades. It was beautiful and wasn't too hot. There were a ton of gators, but not as many as there will be in a couple months.
This is a great time to go because it is still quite dry out and the mosquitos are no where to be found! Well I hope you enjoy some of my pictures that I took while enjoying what God created!
The clouds were amazing!

At every spot we saw water there was a gator

It is the beginning of breeding season and we saw a lot of baby gators around.

Erick and Jason, probably talking about sports
It was so amazing to watch the storms in the distance.

Soft shell turtle, we saw a couple of these

Can you see the baby gator?

Oh I forgot to mention that Shark Valley is a 15 mile loop that juts out into the Everglades. It took us 2.5 hours to bike the whole thing. It is a very cool place!

Ah! I never heard of that place, but I think I am a little scared.
