We’ve been trying to be more intentional about staying active lately — walking more, getting outdoors, and soaking in the simple joys. So this weekend, we set out to explore a nearby trail we hadn’t been on in a while.
About halfway through, we came to a high bridge overlooking the lake… and that’s when we saw them — at least 15 alligators sprawled out on the shore below, all in one spot like they were hosting a little gator beach day.
I’ve lived in Florida long enough to be used to the occasional gator sighting, but I’ve never seen that many at once, especially that close together. It was wild, a little eerie, and honestly kind of amazing. Thankfully, we were up high and safe enough to stop and take a few photos — a moment we won’t forget anytime soon.
Have you ever had a surprising wildlife encounter while out in nature? I’d love to hear your story!
