We had our last visit at Green Cay wetlands. Another amazing morning walking in the midst of wildlife. Towards the end we actually saw, about 10 feet from our eyes, an alligator eating a turtle! We were told that alligators eat turtles whole but they need to go down head first! eek.... We sat there for about 30 minutes watching the alligator trying to flip the turtle and each time the gator rose its jaws we could audibly hear the crunch of the shells. the kids got restless so we had to move on. This is what happens in nature, right? Aidan later said that the sound made him sad. Bella, in her evil little voice replied, "not me". Here is a shot....
We met this young guy, with this riduculous zoom lens. His name is Greg Matthews
