This is a ‘you can’t make this stuff up’ scene.
It’s like all your weird uncles came and ate your big family dinner, then fell asleep in the living room.

When we spot a scene like this we need to get closer, there’s a bunch of photographs there just waiting for us. And in all fairness Ellen was walking out on the nearby dike first.

Dikes and trails cross these marshes so there is usually someplace we can get to, without bothering the subjects.

A day we didn’t even bother to count how many locals were around.
They’re amazing and so are your photos!
Thanks so much. Between Ellen and me we must have a years worth of Alligator shots 😂😂
This time I noticed that alligators all seem to have this sideways grin – a sneaky kind of smile, like “haha, I’ll get you eventually.” Not exactly the kind of party I’d want to attend 🙂
Have a great weekend, Ted!
Marc.
😂😂. They do. This shape also allows them to open their mouth wide enough to swallow a VW Bus. 🥹 Pretty sure I have a shot from the last week or so. Will look. Good weekend to you too.
I think I will decline the invitation thanks.
It’s great fun to hang around on the edges and watch though 😝
You know my uncles??
Seriously, that is a crazy tangle of teeth.
And one pile of many that morning. Like an old B&W series on Saturday morning TV.
