Well He Looks Hungry

Recently I was watching this alligator actively splashing around in the marsh trying to stir up fish and crabs for his dinner. From the looks of things I’m guessing he was rather hungry and…it’s turning into a bad night to be a fish or crab out there for sure!

  Green font must be a Word Press glitch, I’ll get tech working on it. 🙂
  Glad you like the action!

    Glad you liked the idea. I think the gators will be impressed.

      I should mention to everyone here that is was your idea for a ‘gator’ text color and I thought it was an excellent idea!
      Will the gators be excited? Hard to tell, they seem to purposely spend a lot of their time trying to appear unimpressed about everything.

It looks like he’s trying to give a high five in the first picture…or wait, is he trying to kill something with his massive hand (is that what gators have)? And those claws! Great pictures making me once again, think alligators are cute!

  We call ’em “paws”. I know it’s not technically accurate but it makes them sound much cuter and as you said, the cuteness factor is high! I’m glad you liked these pics and thought our boy here was cute but I don’t think I’ll pass that particular comment along to him. I’ll say you thought he looked ferocious. That should make him happy, which of course currently sums up my life, if I’m not working to make the cat happy I’m trying to make the alligators happy.

    Ha! Ferocious it is. And which is harder to keep happy – the gator or Jack?

      One thing I don’t have to worry about with the gators is them waking me up at 4am for food as opposed to a certain tuxedo cat we know.

I’m betting that it requires more than a take out from Red Lobster to satisfy that hunger. Looks like the gator nabbed a mouthful of muddy goodness at the last.

  Oh boy that’s all we need is for these guys to start acquiring a taste for lobster. That could make some of the owners of the various seafood restaurants here along the inlet a but cautious, and the customers even more so.
  I think this guy here was pretty much stuffed with muddy goodness!

I like the green text, easy to read, softer on the eye than white.

A frantically hungry alligator does not bode well for any edibles in that water. He’s certainly not smiling in these pics. Phil. 🙂

A case of ‘ bring me an alligator sandwich and make it snappy’? I would call the font ‘grunge green’. Very befitting.
