The quiet unwavering stare is very unsettling.
He was probably day dreaming 😆.

Alligator Ambush
This is a nice spot for the locals to get dry. However if you are not paying attention you can get a surprise. Someone did but I didn’t take the shot lol.
It was just a little guy, maybe 4 feet.
Claimed The Log, Alligator
When I saw this I had to go over to the other side of the swamp. I thought I knew all the ‘bumps’ and stuff here. The water was low, but I guess things from this winter are showing up.
This gator just moved in and took over the log.
Good ‘Ole Boy’ Sunning, Alligator
Just a local getting a little sun.
Oddly I have reached the point where walking past a sleeping Alligator, hands in pockets, is perfectly normal.
Casually Watching Me, Alligator
This is a favorite spot for resting. While the photograph shows this as what you might think of in the middle of a dangerous place, it’s deceiving.
This is a mid-sized pond with a statue, small bubble fountain, and a nice tourist bridge. A main path for plantation visitors runs along the far side of this pond. It’s a busy spot, and the gator is popular to see.
While he doesn’t live here full time, the river is close for food, he does often enjoy the spot .
Like so many of us I think he loves to ‘people watch’. That’s what he was doing when to took this.
Not Much Around, Alligator
We had family in town a few days ago. Rather than do anything too far from home we went for a walk by the river.
It was quiet, I even commented how there was not much around to see. As usual I straggled behind with my camera. I took a quick shot down the length of the waters edge and caught up.
Later I looked at the camera’s back screen.
So maybe I should look a little harder next time.
Sun Bathing
A turtle sharing his space.
One of those ‘you never know what you might find’ shots.
Two Gators (one hidden)
I never did see the second gator until getting ready to publish this.
Along the edge of the water look close to find a tail.
I focus on the Alligators eye, I should pay attention though LOL.
