Naples ZOO Visit! What a WONDERFUL place!

This is the first installment of several in a series that I am sharing with you folks from the Naples Zoo! Sonja, in her wonderful photographic way, has created a magnificent group of photos that I feel compelled to share with you.

I will be doing a few of these over the coming days and hope you find them as interesting as I do. If you have never been to the Naples Zoo, or have not been lately, it has become a very nice Zoo with lots of backing and support.

When Sonja and I were kids growing up here we all knew this place to be the "Jungle Larry's".

For those of you who do not know who Jungle Larry was, if you remember the "Tarzan" movies starring Johnny Weismuller (spelling?), Larry was his stand-in double who swung from the trees and wrestled alligators! Larry was a wonderful "animal man" who created this magnificent place but had others who came before and after him that shaped this wonderful zoo and botanical garden!

So if you are an animal lover OR a plant lover, you must come see! And if you are a local, for $30, you can join for a whole year and enjoy the zoo year round! What a wonderful bargain!

So, enjoy, and thank you Sonja for sharing your work with us! If any of you are interested in "prints" of any of these matted for your frame, let us know! You can purchase these in several sizes.

Thanks folks and enjoy!

Once again I thank my wife Sonja for her effort to share the wonders of the natural world with us!

Until next time, Gator D is OUTTA HERE!
