Several photographs that have been sitting around with no home.
Below an adult Alligator deep in the duck weed. Eyes half open so he was either bored or pretending to sleep.

Next a surprise gator. The green leaves are from plants growing along the bank of this swamp, the Alligator sitting on the edge too. At this point no sense jumping, take the shot.

You can see the last one is in a nice clean swamp pond. No green muck, and he has nothing hanging off his back. This was taken near a plantation house so I would call him a ‘city gator’.

As we were counselled during hikes in SC, “watch out for the bitey end”.
😆. I think we do get a little complacent after a while. We coexist pretty good though.
