One of those moments when your timing is right.
In a second this entire group of Alligators could slip under and I would never have known they were there. This time they didn’t.

Locals (Alligators) We Noticed On A Walk
The swamps this time of year, September, are thick with vegetation from the hot and damp Lowcountry weather. The swamp Alligators wear this assorted ‘green’ like a suit. It’s all over them, and hides a gator pretty good.
Below is ‘Momma’ guarding her babies on a back trail. The only way I spotted her was she jumped at a Heron coming too close to her brood. She is completely covered.
The nest two photographs are green Duck Weed, with a bit of Alligator. The weed almost looks solid. Duck Weed is actually a very tiny complete plant. Gazillions of them make of the weed covering.
Last are Alligators up on old wooden ramps. The weed has dried on them, yet you can still see plenty if you look close.
Most birds have moved out to the marshes. Alligators are what you find when out on a walk.

Marsh Scene
Bear Island, ACE Basin.
A view from a dirt road towards the back of Bear Island. We had been walking for a while and had not seen much wildlife at this point. I turned back and shot a few random photographs of the marsh.
The Alligators were a distance down the open water. There are three, one is far and in the reeds. Always interesting scenery.
Bump On A Log, Alligator
The trail curved here so I was able to get a few different angles, even a bit closer in spite of the swamp water.
While I was moving around taking photos he peeked out of a half open eye. He wasn’t impressed.
Alligator, Sepia
They always look to be so deep asleep.
Giving The Look, Alligator
Just something about their stare…

Momma, Alligator
Typical Alligator, not where she was supposed to be at all.
Probably following those fool kids of hers.
