Nifty gator!
ReplyDeleteThere was a gator that lived behind a doctor's house on Jekyll Island, near a cottage we rented for several years.
OF COURSE his name was Albert. Eventually he got too big and was deported to the golf course.

Wow ... beautiful !!
ReplyDeletecool shot!!! yeah, i agree with you, totally! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Laura,
ReplyDeleteyes you're right on the other side it is safe ... I would like to meet such a beast but not necessarily, or at least? ;-))
greetings Frank
Whoa. I feel like I should quietly back away... ;)
ReplyDeleteOh my! Nice that you were behind!
ReplyDeleteI love your picture, and I love the game. I'm particularly enchanted by the fact that one can use old posts and things. It might be a great way of reviving some buried posts ;-)
ReplyDeleteNow that's FUN!!! Where or where did you find this beauty??? Hopefully not your backyard:) Remember to run zig zag if they chase you and not straight. It messes with their vision:)
ReplyDeleteWooo Hooo! Better to be behind most definitely! Like the shot!
ReplyDeleteYOU are one brave gal because there's no way, no how I would THAT close to that creature!...:)JP
ReplyDeleteWow, I would think you definitely want to be behind that gator. Great shot!
ReplyDeleteAmazing, never have seen such an animal, let alone been that close. A great picture. Please have you all a good Thursday.
ReplyDeletehow brave are you even getting that close!

Oh my goodness Laura this photo just rocks! Is he a friend of yours? Ha! Ha! I can't believe this...very, very cool!
ReplyDeletePretty darn close Laura! A great shot...did he see you? Yeah!!! He knew you were there! See you soon!♥
ReplyDeleteGreat capture:)
ReplyDeleteMy gosh - what an amazing pic - I hope you weren't as colse as it seems...
ReplyDeleteGreat snakes and now an alligator. Reminded me of Bill Haley - "See you later, alligator."
ReplyDeleteFront or back - TOO close for me ;-P
ReplyDeleteOh you are brave being behind that alligator. And to think I was a bit worried about my grasshopper, lol. I feel a bit silly now :))
ReplyDeleteThat's one thing you definitely want to see from behind. It wouldn't be fun seeing it coming at you!
ReplyDeleteLOLOL! Yup--from behind seems safer. ;)
ReplyDeleteYou've got more guts than I'll ever have: This pic is stunning! I can almost feel what it must have been like to be crouched behind this beyond-scary animal. Closest I ever came was an iguana, which totally doesn't compare.
ReplyDeleteI promise I'll make the next theme a little less dangerous :) So glad you shared this!
Nice 'gator shot! I miss Florida (and am glad to hear this morning that our part of it will still be there when we come back ...so far anyway!) Praying for Isaac to be the last storm of the season!!!!
ReplyDeleteSorry, life got in the way of my blogging and I am now playing catch up.
ReplyDeleteThis shot makes me glad that I do not live in gator country. I would not like to stumble on one of these at any time.
