Got into the #Everglades this weekend and ran into an old friend. This is Croczilla. While he looks intimidating with his mouth open the reality is he's doing that because he's hot and that's how he lets out excess heat. He's basically doing the Wall-E recharge. #Crocodile #wildlifephotograhy

Just to make sure everyone seeing this understands: the facility is still open and has detainees in it. This young woman's father is one of them. This photo was taken Sunday at a prayer vigil in front of the Abomination.

#Protesters gathered in front of @RepMariaSalazar
's office on #calleocho in #Miami today demanding the Rep hold town halls (they say she's had zero), meet with constituents, protect the #environment ("This city is ground zero for climate change" one told me).

Went to Mosquito Heaven yesterday (Everglades--it's not bad in the winter, but after rain yesterday? Holy Toledo) and shot this. Been working on my landscapes of #Everglades. I am used to mountain landscapes so its a challenge. #photography #landscape

Their cousins in other parts of the world, crocodiles, are actually more aggressive. Interestingly, the American CROCODILE, which is a thing too and only in South Florida, is even LESS aggressive than alligators. This is Freddy Kruger, the American Croc, in Everglades.

When we moved to #florida a few years ago, none of us had ever seen an #alligator (or crocodile--only Florida has both!) in the wild. They scared us.
Now, we love them so much. This big boi looks ferocious but he's just sun bathing (thermoregulating). If you saw him, you'd question if he was real.
