Last weekend was the weekend of reptiles. It started when I was paddling up the river and suddenly found myself surrounded by swimming turtles, frantically abandoning their favorite sunbathing log. This is the alligator who had clearly made an excellent meal, then taken over the log for himself. Click to see how happy he looks.
Some of the turtles found other logs.
I saw this tiny baby turtle climbing up a cypress trunk.
Later that weekend, I found this snake climbing an azalea bush at the gardens.

Turtles climb trees? Amazing. And exactly what sort of a snake is that eyeing you? Wonderful pictures.
I think it's an Eastern Ratsnake, but a juvenile one. They're supposed to be great tree climbers.
