Not the fashion statement I want to make.<br /><br />Randy,<br />Thank you very much for the kind compliments. I will try and stay grounded though.<br /><br />Sybil,<br />The visit to IKEA is always good too. It makes me wish we had one closer to the house.<br /><br />Jason,<br />No telephot, he was really that close.<br /><br />Outlaw,<br />Sorry but I can't answer your rodent question. I believe the gators we saw ate a lot of fish and fowl.<br /><br />LesLeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18281256160705697856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765612855992884633.post-67343494236032331422012-07-19T12:14:44.173-04:002012-07-19T12:14:44.173-04:00Florida's flora is beautiful - so tepmting to ...Florida's flora is beautiful - so tepmting to live there- but some of the fauna, like the one you were so close to...Yikes!<br />Thanks for the vicarious vacation!<br /><br />Do Florida's reptiles cut down on the rodent population?outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765612855992884633.post-690339254304568132012-07-18T23:20:55.546-04:002012-07-18T23:20:55.546-04:00I really hope that was a telephoto lens.

It was remarkable how many alligators we saw there and along the highway-side canals on the way up the Gulf of Mexico side of Florida. Very creepy creatures, but fun to see them in the wild.Pam/Digginghttp://www.penick.net/diggingnoreply@blogger.com
