We spent some time at Moody AFB recently with my son. I got out early one misty morning and snapped a few photos.

Later that afternoon we headed down to the recreation area near the pond. I saw the "No Swimming, Alligators May Be Present" sign so I asked if that was just a precaution. Nope.

We walked on and found a couple more. I tried to hide behind a bush to get better pics, but I think they knew I was there.

WOW! those are some great shots! :highclap: :highclap: Thanks to your son for serving. :congrats: :congrats:
Pat
Great pics!!!!!!!
Nice! Did you take those with your SX50HS? :eyebrow:
Yup. I'm still learning about aperture, and I think it has more zoom than it needs. Perspective...?
I can understand the No Swimming sign after seeing the alligators. Nice images.
Jerry

Where's Troy when you need him. :eyebrownod: Nice pics!

Yeah anything past the optical 50X, starts to get real poor.
Great pictures. Looks like he was coming in looking for a meal - a handout or just a hand.
