We are fortunate. We can venture out and have no contact with people.
Taken while standing and enjoying fresh air.
There were no people but these ‘locals’ seemed to have missed visiting with us. Easily over 100 on my walk.
Out And About

Gators Get Cozy
I needed to throw out another one of those ‘can’t make this up’ shots.
A true contradiction, an alpha predator looking so completely ridiculous.
Found On A Walk
I usually reserve this title for traditional wide landscape shots. This time though another ‘found’ topic.
Not sure who found who, but while walking a dike this guy slipped over to me.
This was one of several along the trail, each investigating the ‘intruders’. My guess is they were bored and not much new happens back there.

This article is for anyone who has wondered how all the Alligators and Turtles get up on the old ramps. The short answer is they pile on. The long is in the images below…
Above you can see the usual ‘pile o critters’ I find. Another Alligator is moving into the scene (bottom right).
And here he goes… climbing up and paying no attention to anything going on around (or under) him.

It’s a chain reaction, with the first Alligator suddenly finding himself crowded out.
At any time a bigger gator might swim by and decide to push in, and even more fall out the front.

Note; I came across another image from about an hour later…
‘You can’t make this stuff up’
Tangled Up In Brush, Alligator
Photographed at what we now call the ‘Alligator Nursery’.
This one was approximately 3 feet (1 meter). Probably the biggest this side of the marshes.
We came across maybe fifty others from this size down to babies. No big adults, we find them on the other side of this area.
Is it really a nursery? No, but we need references to things out here so it’s as good as any.
Eye To Eye, Alligator
On a dull day, weather wise.
Don’t Know What He Wanted, Alligator
We caught his interest, but not sure why.
You can see his tail movement as he swam over to me. Not very fast for an Alligator, and I was a few feet up the marsh bank.
Like always he stopped before landing.
Something gets their attention at times and curiosity takes over.
That always helps with photographs.
ACE Basin, South Carolina.
Always A New Position, Alligator
They’re starting to act like a dance team.
It’s a new look every day.
