I thought I had seen every position they could do.

However, I never considered doing it in reverse.

Floating

Found on a walk.

Though I admit it wasn’t all that difficult.

Never Be This Close, Alligator

Because if you are this close…

You’re knelling on his nose.

Out And About

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.

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.

Alligator Antics (large number of images)

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…

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.
