Gatorland

Post by Spider »

I have just 30 more shots to upload and will work on that after I post. If youre in Orlando this time of year I strongly urge you to go. Click on the photo to get to the album (if it wants a password pm me) and have your speakers on when you use the slideshow feature. :) Have fun, I sure did!

Here's the link:

Anyone who wants to can PM me for the password if it asks for one. Usually if you click on the photo it takes you to the album. I don't know what's different now. 220 + photos are way too many to post on the forums (and I'm heading back tomorrow AM, leaving at 5:30 to be there at 7:30).

And here's an alligator singing. When one started he started a whole chorus, even ones right under your feet. It shook the boardwalk to much I couldn't get a clear shot!

This one's short, but he looks so happy! I wish I had gotten a still of this one, it would have come out nice.

It kinda sounds like they had one too many soda pops to me. In fact, some of my co-worker's can...
