Title: NO SWIMMING!
Post by: shaddragger on July 29, 2013, 08:50:17 PM

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

The George W. Bush Air Park at Moody Field

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.

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.

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.
