On my last trip through the Big Cypress National Preserve, I was on a mission to get as many gator shots as I possibly could. I timed it perfect and saw about 30 of them on my last trip through the area. When I got to one of the pull offs I saw a huge gator sitting on the side of the road sun bathing. This gator looked happy as hell sitting in the sun and smiling right at me. I thought this was the perfect send off to one of my favorite places I found during my time in Florida.
