Spirit of the Swamp Airboat Tours

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a photo like this before, have you?  I mean it’s stunning, amazing, breathtaking… I could go on and on.  It should be on the cover of a nature magazine!

This photo was taken yesterday by Mary – she graduated from high school with Captain Harold! Mary and her husband Karl (who also graduated with Captain Harold) and their son were in Florida visiting and went out for a ride on the airboat with us.

Fortunately it was an absolutely perfect day, and we saw some amazing alligators.

I could not believe my eyes when I saw these two gators snuggled up - it’s something you just don’t ever see! The smaller gator is the female; the large gator is a male. It’s not gator mating season yet (March), so I guess these two are in a courtship phase. Or perhaps he’s convinced her it’s March already?

Mary took so many fantastic photos and lucky me, they stopped by our house before we all went out to dinner, so I got to download them ALL right to my laptop!

Here’s a picture of the high school buddies - Captain Harold and Karl, Hemphill High School, Hemphill, Texas:

More high school buddies, plus me:

I’ll have some more incredible photos to share with you tomorrow!
