On the road to Key West

 We're finally starting our hopefully epic road trip this summer. First day was from Fort Myers to Key West. The weather was iffy the first part of the day, overcast and rainy but once we hit the keys it was overcast but not rainy so top down.

All packed and ready to pull out on day 1, probably the last time the car will be clean for a month.

We drove across south Florida on 41, the Tamiami Trail and stopped at a rest area. Turns out it had more wildlife than we saw when we visited Everglades National Park.

The "ditch" next to 41 had way more gators than we saw in the National Park.

Gators, lizards, turtles, you can tell what I like to photograph.

The national park rangers keeping an eye on us (hopefully NOT).

This was typical of the weather for the day, dark and overcast, some of it clouds and some of it the Saharian Dust cloud from Africa.

Ok, I'll photograph pretty much any animals.
