There were plenty of Green Herons around the other day. And as usual most were surrounded by grass and branches.
In keeping with my usual lack of patience I kept moving and suddenly a hole opened up. Not perfect, leaves in and out with the breeze, but I did have a chance at a few shots.
Is this the same place the aligators hang out? I’m feeling nervous.
One of them. We photograph in many swamps. If there’s a swamp there is always alligators. You just need to be careful.
I have a friend who owns an eco-tour company. One part of his business is renting kayaks and providing guides take people out. We followed a group in a boat one day, Ellen and I shooting promotional shots. Alligators were in the reeds, with our boat, and the paddling kayaks. 😳. Just another day out to him…
They are scary looking, and yes big meat eaters, but not a big threat. Oh, I’m staying in the boat.
