I Thought Something (Or Someone) Was Hiding In There
Last week while walking along the edge of the marsh pond I noticed this suspicious looking dark shape in among the weeds. I had an idea of what, or who, it would turn out to be and sure enough…within a few minutes who do I see come walking out with a sneaky grin on his face?!? Of course it’s our old pal Mr. A once again taking a pleasant little afternoon stroll over to the salt marsh likely with visions of nice crunchy crabs dancing in his head. 🙂

Yikes!!!
That’s what he said when he saw me. 😉 😀
Thanks for looking!
Excellent shots Phil, whatever was hiding in there, you saw it.
Thank you Jan, I’m getting good at spotting their hiding places.
Oh dear, what an expression! 🙂 Have you any time had any “accidents” running into you dear friends in the marshes?
He has quite a face doesn’t he?! Some months ago I came very close to stepping on one’s nose that was lying in a similar spot. One more step and I likely would have irritated him I’m thinking.
I see. That was pretty close indeed. “shiver” 🙂
His face is out of this world. Give him a contract in Hollywood, you surely have connections?
If he want’s me as his agent, I’m holding out for 20% 🙂
At least. Go for no less. Please sign me up for the Continent. I’d love to be his AA. 🙂
He is giving you his best Mona Lisa smile!
He is very good at that!
It just makes you want to wander all over the place without looking where you’re stepping!
A couple months ago I did come very close to stepping on the nose of one that was laying there in a similar spot.
Keeping you on your toes!
Glad I still have all my toes! 🙂
Bellissime foto, come sempre 🙂
Grazie. Sono felice che ti piace le foto 🙂
Nice photos. Smart hiding like that! Good for you that you saw him!
Thanks Hans and yes he is smart. More then me because I almost didn’t see him.
What a surprise that would have been to step on what appears to be a “gray rock” in the grass (in the first photo).
Good eye!
I almost didn’t see him at first but glad I did. This is not the first time something like this has happened, I just missed stepping on the nose of one a couple months ago.
Sneaky big guy!
He is a sneak! And you know what makes it all the more sneaky?!?…they are super quiet too. You would think they would make a racket lumbering around in the weeds but it never made a sound.
Yikes! Have you thought of putting a cow bell on him?
That’s a good idea! Along with maybe one of those bright orange reflective vests.
Yep! 😀
I love the smile and the gleam in the eye!
Oh he had a gleam all right, because I suspect he was up to something. 🙂
I think he is happy to wear his new camo outfit. It’s all the rage in fashion. lol. Very cute!
Oh yes, I understand that look is all the rage in Paris these days! Oh and tons of cuteness. 🙂
That’s pretty amazing camo for a big guy.
He wears it quite well doesn’t he?! 🙂
Wow, gives “blending” a new meaning. I could swear his eye is looking right at you!
He blends in quite nicely indeed, but I suppose that’s his plan. And I can guarantee he is looking right at me. 🙂
Good Morning Mr. Alligator 🙂
He says Good Morning to you as well Nia! 🙂
I absolutely love these two shots!
Glad to hear that Paula, thanks! 🙂
Good Lord, you have to have your wits about you in your neighbourhood
I did almost step on the nose of one is a similar location a while back. I have to figure that would not be good for anybody.
Phil, you just can’t blame a fellow for being sneaky about an afternoon snack! Mr. A has camera appeal… always posing for you!
Well he has the right idea as far as trying to stay out of view, I’m just glad when I do spot him before I take one step too many. 🙂
He does have camera appeal doesn’t he?!
Wouldn’t want to stumble across Mr. A while walking in the weeds.
No, you have to figure that would not be good for anybody. Plus no one wants their nose stepped on so I can’t blame him there. 🙂
