The Everglades National Park is an interesting place to visit when you are in Florida. When driving by one of the park entrances, I decided to stop and have a little bit of a rest in the park. Shark Valley entrance is directly off Highway 41. Maybe because of it being Sunday or a very warm day, the parking lot in the park was full and most visitors have to park on the shoulder of the highway.
It definitely was worth stopping by to see some of the interesting wildlife. As I did not intend to visit the park, I took only my standard lens Canon EF15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM. It delivers beautiful images but I did miss some of the extra zoom I could have had.
Birds were plentiful and most of them quite indifferent to visitors, walking or standing close to a walking path. One animal you do not want to get close to is an alligator. There were quite a few of them basking in the sun, most were large, but there was also a baby one. An interesting capture was when a turtle was resting right next to an alligator.
And for all those not so interested in animals there are also plants, however, very few were in bloom in January.
When you visit bring your higher zoom camera as well as a tripod, it could become handy.
