Shark Valley

Even after a year here, there are still so many things to see. This place is a hidden gem, and we had such a great visit! Shark Valley is in the Northern section of the Florida Everglades, which isn't far from where we live. The area has an incredible bike path, a 15 mile loop, that allowed us to be within a few steps of beautiful birds and other indigenous animals. The best part was that we could venture through the area completely on our own, without having to take a tour or drive anywhere. I was a little surprised that nothing was roped off, and that animals were everywhere!

This was our day. So much fun!

            And where there are babies, there are mama gators close by.

Lots of beautiful birds.

There's nothing like an alligator stink-eye. Wait for it…
