I have been considering different, and new ways to publish and present my work. Over time the size and scope of the photography is getting overwhelming.
This web site alone has over 5,300 pages, a guess would be bare minimum of 15,000 photographs. And, we are involved with others. I just flipped over to the next set of drives, did the archive stuff, and ‘almost’ counted images per drive.
I am just adding a new category, ‘A Watering Hole’.
In a week none of us will even care anyway…
He was trying to keep away from everyone, me included.
Low spring waters and warmer weather has all the locals out getting the sun. It actually gets crowded in the best spots.
This one opted for a sun patch closer to a dike road, but less competition.
Besides this is one of the smaller Alligators over here. So he has less problems when alone.
Of course there are others that feel the same way about crowds looking to steal his spot.
I think this photograph sums up our day. It certainly wasn’t a day to be day dreaming.
When I saw this shot all I could think of was ‘Mutual Of Omaha’ with Marlin Perkins.
I know I’ve written that before, but this is the thing a kids Saturday morning TV was all about. And yes, I had only black and white.
Just sayin…
This scene is becoming a recurring theme. Spoonbills hanging with Alligators.
Spoonbills stay the winter now and the marshes go low early spring.
Alligators go where the marsh water is.
It gets interesting.
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.
I have seen this large guy several times before. Teeth are missing, and growing outward.
An Alligator can regrow their teeth. A good thing considering the life they live.
This one is about 12 feet (3.6 meters) which is about right for the biggest in this marsh. Some may be a little bigger, but after a certain size who cares. They’re just really big.
