Crepuscular rays over a thunderstorm in Big Cypress National Preserve. A perfect alignment of the light rays and the rain made it looked like something was shooting from the sky to the ground through the cloud.

Alligator in Big Cypress National Preserve

2nd to last Moonset of 2016. Only 2.5% of the Moon visible from Earth was illuminated. The reflection of Earth is visible on the top part of the Moon making the whole circle visible.

I loved how the swamp water of Big Cypress created a mirror for this alligator. This guy was about 3-4 feet long and was perfectly content with me taking his photo.
