This sign was near the swimming area at
Wakulla Springs State Park. Yes people swim in the same water with the alligators I showed you yesterday, but no worries, the alligators know they are not allowed in the swimming area! We didn't see any manatees, but they live there too. Linking to
signs, signs.
This Anhinga was standing on an old cypress stump drying his wings as we passed by on our boat ride down the river.
We also passed a Great Blue Heron and White Ibis toward the end of our boat ride. Linking to
Wild Bird Wednesday.

Looks a lot like our Rainbow Springs! Great fun. And the gators only eat once a month, so nothing to be concerned about there!
That's certainly a "wild" place, Lois. :-)
I wouldn't put a foot in that water!
Clearly, the people feel free to swim here but, I think I would just watch.
Oh goodness, a sign to take very seriously. Pretty pictures of the place too!
All the gators eat the same day every month? If not, I see a problem here... Great bird pictures, bu the way!
love the birds just hanging around. :)
Sounds like you are having so much fun with the grandchildren Lois, lucky you.. I'm not going in that water either :) :)
Lovely, especially the second one!
lol i just don't think i would feel good about having the kids swim with gators...but the manatees would be cool to swim with!
Swimming around gators? Depends on when they had their last meal.
The heron seems all business.
Beautiful shots. I have yet to see a manatee!
I saw the manatees at Homossasa Springs and there were wonderful! Such gentle creatures.
Great area to enjoy the water, but interesting that the alligators and manatees are there too. I bet you wished you could have seen a manatee. Nice shots!
What do they mean, don't give us water? They live in water?
I used to live in Port St. Lucie and would go water skiing on the river. While waiting for the boat, the manatees would sometimes bump up to me and suck on my toes. They're sweet animals.
I would never count on gators knowing rules. Not sure the reptilian brain works that way. Interesting signs. At least there are still manatees around.
The Anhinga birds fascinate me! Maybe because we don't have them.
Loving the pictures and your Florida attitude!!! I wouldn't be afraid to swim there but I hope the alligators are ;>)
Oh how wonderful. I just saw a couple of these late last Winter when I visited my daughter in FL
WOW, up close and personal. Tom The Backroads Traveller
Fine captures of those big birds.
Great captures of the Anhinga and the Heron! Enjoy your day and the week ahead!
