Peaceful Lake


This sweet little lake at the Ellen Trout Zoo in Lufkin, Texas, about 40 miles from my home looks so tranquil.  Until you see the sign at the shoreline!

Yikes Kathy! Good thing for the sign! Alligators are everywhere in Florida and yet I always get excited and somewhat scared when I see one! Nice photos!

florida is BLESSED with being the only state in the union that has BOTH alligators and crocodiles. we have signs on every pond and lake, and people just choose to ignore the signs and swim there. I have enjoyed all your rambling pics while i was in bed. i scrolled through my reader but did not comment.

Thats funny Kathy, I knew that there is a "but" when I red your post title and looked at the photo. I started searching for a hidden alligator befor I went to the second photo:-)

I guess I won't be wading in that water. You never know what lurks beneath.

I will definitely not be going in that water. great pics!

Holy smokes....not a good place to go skinny dipping.

This is one of the reasons (of which there are many) that I only swim in chlorinated pools. If there are any alligators, they are only mosaic tiles.

Gators! That's scary. I like the tree reflection in the first shot.

Kate said...

I think that I'd pay close attention to the sign.
