And A Good Morning To You Sir | Phil Lanoue Photography

And A Good Morning To You Sir

Early this morning my good pal Mr. A glided over to greet me at the edge of the marsh pond…he seemed to be in a good mood. 🙂

Completely prehistoric looking, but I like the embellishment around the right eye. How very fashionable!

  Oh he is very fashionable for sure and I hear that eye embellishment look is all the rage in Paris these days. 😀

I think he wants you to wipe that seaweed from his eye….go ahead! Great shots!

  I probably could have reached in and grabbed it off his face, but I would rather talk someone else into doing it so I can get shots of the ensuing fun. Maybe switch over to video for that. 🙂
  Glad you liked these!

How can you really tell what mood he is in?! 🙂

  Oh, it’s because of the umm, ah, well…I figure it’s always better to just assume he is in a good mood, makes me feel better about standing in front of him 😛 😀

Fantastic shot Phil. Are you using a circular polarizer on these shots?

- Phil Lanoue on October 13, 2013 at 6:22 pm said:
  
  Thanks very much I appreciate you looking and commenting. No polarizer or any type of special filter at all, these are pretty much right out of the camera.

Impressive pics. Good for you that he was in a good mood.

  Thanks and yes, I always like to catch him early if possible before he gets annoyed about anything because that’s not good for anybody. 🙂

  I am glad as well he was in a good mood. When the big guy is unhappy that’s no good for anybody. 🙂

For a minute there I couldn’t figure out what was going on. What sort of abstract was I looking at? Then I read it was a photo from you, Phil, and looking closer saw you were almost upon Mr. A’s nose! Tremendous shot! 🙂

  I guess I just may be getting known for taking a few alligator photos. But I can’t help it, they are just so darn cute! 🙂
  Thanks for looking!

Phil, I think you should have removed the grass from his face – it makes him look a lot less hostile. I’m sure he would not have minded.

- Phil Lanoue on October 15, 2013 at 5:40 pm said:
  
  Well he was in a good mood but maybe not that good of a mood. He may have misunderstood my intentions if I reached over and took off that grass and an alligator misunderstanding is not really good for anybody. 🙂

I guess that’s as friendly as an alligator gets! You lucky man!

  Yes Maggie, that probably is about it as far as friendly goes. But you gotta love that big smile right?! 😀

  It was not my intention at first to be that close but he insisted on coming over to greet me so I just went with it. 🙂

He is just something else, Mr Gator … I wonder how he look when he´s not in the mood … 😉 Regardless which mood he is in, i don´t think that i want to meet him as close as you did … Maria 🙂
