Inconspicuous | Phil Lanoue Photography

Inconspicuous

A while back we spotted Mr. Alligator doing his best to keep a low profile in the swamp amid the duckweed. His attempt at inconspicuousness and blending in could work.

Whatever he is hoping will end up on the day’s menu might never see him…and could end up bumping right into trouble.

Great shot. I’m glad I’m not a duck swimming around. He’s really inconspicous.

    Yes he does, but maybe we’re being unkind and misjudging his intentions. 🙂

      I’m sure that’s it. He most likely is keeping an eye on his little ducky friends to protect them. Ya know, sort of like a guard dog. Mr. A is such a great guy! 😀

Nice. Just as long as you don’t get surprised. I know you keep telling me the risk is low but I’m still cautious.

  Aw he’s OK. Probably just pretending to be all stealthy and sinister for the camera. 🙂

Not a place or the right moment to want to go for a swim, I bet.

  No swimming allowed or encouraged. Hasn’t stoppped a few drunks though. 😯
