Morning Mood
Early on a recent morning I decided to look in on (or in this case, look down on) our pal Mr. A to see what kind of mood he might be in first thing in the morning. I could not tell for sure from this angle, but I thought he may be just a bit grumpy. He didn’t seem to be in the mood to socialize and I suspect that could be because he didn’t have his morning coffee yet. If that’s the case, then he’s just like me…I’m generally not in the mood for too much bright and early chit chat.

Amazing shot, Phil. Difficult to read him, but I certainly wouldn’t take a chance. 🙂
I thought the best idea was to leave him alone until he felt a bit more chipper. 🙂
Thanks Sylvia.
You’re a brave man…
Well he wasn’t interested in me, he was just moping. 🙂
Is that real? Fascinating 🙂
Oh he is 100% real! Thanks for looking. 🙂
Bellissimo scatto…
Ciao Pat
Grazie Pat 🙂
I think if I were a gator, I’d be happy not to have to look in the mirror in the morning . . . or ever!!
Oh well I’m sure he is quite pleased with his appearance. 🙂
The morning mood as seen trough the lens of Phil Lanoue, wonderful!!!
Thank you Jan, and yes he did not seem to be in the best mood that morning.
I know exactly how he feels!
As do I Maggie. 🙂
He looks like he’s in the bitin’ mood! Love this photo, and I really like Mr. A.
If a nice fish came by I can pretty much guarantee he would be in a biting mood. 🙂
The morning sunlight looks good on him!
If you don´t mind me asking, where did you put your focus? On the Eye or the tip of the nose?
Yes he does look rather nice in the morning light doesn’t he?!
I generally try to focus on the eyes but often that big nose gets in the way. 🙂
Looks like a pleasant view of him. Maybe he was having a fine morning.
It is a nice view of our friend. Maybe it was me who was missing my morning coffee?! 😯 😀
…. 🙂 Mr.Alligator, you always make me smile… Thank you, love, nia
Oh well you have to love Mr. Alligator! Thanks Nia!
I can surely relate…
You and me both.
Great close up, Phil, and in some sweet light.
Thanks Steve, he looks great in almost any light but especially that morning light. 🙂
He must be grumpy for not having his morning coffee yet but seeing him in such a close up shot , my whole day hunger has gone!!!!!
He may be grumpy but you can still have your meal. Mr. Alligator suggests you have chicken or fish. 🙂
hope he will NOT join me in the meals 😉
You are right it is better to not have him join you in a meal. He just makes a huge mess out of everything and often has very poor table manners. 🙂
Not sure whether I will survive to see his “poor table manners”. He might ask me ” come, enjoy the last supper”.
Sweet angle and lighting
Thanks I really appreciate you checking this out.
I thot that was a picture of me in the morning! Hopefully that was a zoom lens.
Yup, looks an awful lot like me too especially first thing in the morning. Well he was right under me, but taking it easy still.
Lovely colours and textures Phil.
I’m very glad you liked this Lucy!
Actually me and Mr A both have the same morning look
