He just leisurely surfaced and looked around.
Floated a bit, watched us, got bored.
No interest in what we were doing.
It puts things in perspective…
I Guess We Are Not Important, Alligator

Just Big, Really Big. Alligator
When you see one of the ‘big guys’ sitting around like this you must stop and admire what they are.
After thousands of years they are still here, doing the same thing they always did.
It can be like watching a dinosaur, still alive.
Happy Looking Local, Alligator
This local was sitting on the side of a trail getting a little sun.
He did manage to raise his head when I walked by. The trail was maybe 6 feet wide (1.8 meter) but he was liking that spot, not moving.
I gave a look, he gave a look… we both went about our business.
The Last Thing You Want To See Walk By, Alligator
This will sure get your attention.
Most times you see an Alligator they are in the water. Now, have one walk by and you get a whole new perspective.
Been Fighting, Alligator
Not surprising but this guy has a wound on the back of his head. It looks to be healing.
These were taken out pretty far in a marsh, with hundreds of large Alligators.
Periodically you will see, or hear, disagreements. These are large predators and don’t have any rules of behavior LOL.
Yesterday was some rain and dark. Still neither of us can sit inside all that long.
Strange Look To This, Alligator
Perhaps the water was more shallow than I thought, maybe he was buried in the mud.
But really, the water is almost frothy around the animals jaw. I have never seen this before.
Click the photograph to enlarge it. Very Strange.
Alligator By The Cypress Knees
Since Alligators have no way to control their body temperature you see even less of them in hot weather than cold.
When it gets really hot they will find some place to dig in away from heat. Mud is the preferred hiding place.
It surprised me to see this one floating in duckweed, near the base of some Cypress.
I hadn’t photographed any recently so I felt compelled to take a quick shot.
Watching Each Other, Alligator
I wasn’t paying much attention this Alligator. He was laying there like a rock.
I looked through my lens, and while he wasn’t moving he was carefully watching me.
While there was no intent, it’s their nature. It’s what they do.
