Day trip the east and south portion of the Everglades

On one of the boardwalks
Miles and miles of saw grass
An anhinga; it swims primarily 
under water to catch its food
.There it goes...
and comes up with a goodie !
We really like gators; this is a 6 footer
Baby gator, about a foot long
A 4 foot rattlesnake crossing one of the parking lots.
A 13 foot crocodile. The Everglades is the only place
where crocodiles and alligators exist in the same environment.  We did not see them both together.  A white heron.
Mt. Everest, eat your heart out !!
The dwarf cypress forest.
Full moon rising over the Everglades.

We saw the west side of the Everglades a few of weeks ago and decided to check out the other side. Both were essentially the same except for the crocodiles, which are just in the southern portion.
