Couple of critters

[bigredfish]

Living in the heavily populated 'burbs" of Orlando, and not on water, we don't get a lot of exotic critter action. But here's a couple of recent intruders:

300lb+ bear this morning

Bumper crop of raccoons

Nice, That bear will make the hair on your neck stand up. I saw a momma and a couple of cubs this year in Big Cypress while scouting camp sites.

I would have never believed it, bear in Florida?

We live close to a protected state park, about 2 miles of residential neighborhoods between us and their home. This time of year apparently they turn into eating machines and roam for miles looking for grub. FWC says they eat 18-20 hours a day

Been here for 10 years and first we've had one visit. Getting reports daily from neighborhoods in about a 3 mile radius for the past 3 weeks

Alligators, bears, salt water crocodiles, I think OJ lives down here somewhere.

If you really want scary, go spend 30 minutes in a Walmart

That's awesome! Well that you got it on video, not awesome that you have a 300 pound bear in your front yard haha.

Florida has a special kind of Walmartians. It will leave you traumatized for life! Been there done that, regretted it.

Publix runs a close second after 9pm.

I've been in a Florida Publix before. The zombie apocalypse isn't coming, it's here, and they're running the registers at Publix.

Watching Florida from the outside and I just assumed all you had were alligators.

Same here.

That's the worst part of getting a Walmart in a small market. The quality places die off and then that's all you're left with. In the larger markets you're usually left with a choice.

@bigredfish care to share your picture, exposure, and backlight settings? I know you have good street light but just interested to see what settings people are using as I keep tweaking mine.
