Weekly Photo Challenge: Express Yourself

The WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge this week is: Express Yourself

Sometimes we like to take the RV and wander around Florida in January and February. Three years ago our wandering took us to the Midway Campground in the Big Cypress National Preserve. One day we drove to the Shark Valley Visitor’s Center in Everglades National Park to take the guided Tram tour on the 15 mile paved path through Shark Valley. The path is a popular place for bicycling and walking.

There is an abundance of wildlife to be seen there in the heart of the Everglades. We had a couple of up close and personal encounters with the wildlife that really stand out.

First was the alligator right in front of us that crossed from one side of the path to other. He didn’t care that there were tourists all around. Then there was the Great Blue Heron strutting across the road like he was king of the world.

This gator let us know this was his territory as he walked across the path
This is MY path!
This Great Blue Heron strutted across the path as if he owned it

Weekly Photo Challenge: Yellow

The WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge this week is: Yellow

My favorite color is yellow so when I saw the theme of the weekly photo challenge I knew I had post something. There isn’t much yellow around at this time of year and my camera lens isn’t working so I started looking through my photos from earlier this year.

My first thought was to choose yellow flowers.

Then I thought, yellow sunrise and sunset.

Wait, what about our yellow lab Blondie?

Finally I decided why not all three?
