I was explaining to a friend how this area had once been busy.
Raising my hand to point to my right, just as I began to speak about Alligators thriving over there …

Huge splash, and a gator flying through the water.
It was almost show biz!
He was chasing something I never did see. but what a wonderful grand entrance he made.
Like you’ve got them trained and they’re right on cue – well, that one anyway!
They pop up everywhere when you least expect them. Today Ellen and I were walking out in a deep marsh. She turned and made a hand motion. This usually means something to be aware of.
Oh yeah… in the muck, a meter away, a dinosaur. Literally. So close my lens would not focus. 😀
Again, where you least expect them.
