Nice Morning For A Walk
Well it sure was a lovely morning to take a nice walk along the marsh. Except I was not the one doing the walking…it was our old pal Mr. Alligator who came lumbering up out of the marsh to take a little stroll and check out the area. After he took a brief look around, he headed down into the adjoining pond for a pleasant swim before finding a comfy spot for a long nap in the sun. Nice life!Â
