We ended the night watching the aligators leave the banks and enter the water at the end of their day of sunbathing. The sunset was amazingly colorful and hearing all the various birds in the background was very special.

Tried doing a timelapse of the gators entering the water over time.

We did laundry and showered and played cribige, Irene won. We are getting better at the game, so many ways to score.

During the day while I was working Irene defrosted the fridge.

We had not seen any Roseate Spoonbills as of yet on our time at Myakka River SP. We went in the afternoon to the boardwalk and spotted two. Got a couple of shots while they were aloft. They are so beautiful.

As we drove into the park after returning from Ft Meyers we spotted this eagle out in a marsh getting a drink. The light was fading fast and got some shots.
