Well He Looks Happy…I Think…
This alligator was out sunning himself in the swamp on a cold February morning and at a quick first glance I thought maybe he looked happy. But since I wasn’t sure and also was not about to ask him, I’m going with happy. It’s just better for everyone that way…

Wonderful shot Phil.
Thanks very much for looking Jan.
Bellissimo scatto, però lui non mi sembra molto felice, forse non c’era abbastanza sole 🙂
Ciao, Pat
Hey grazie Pat! 😀
At least he was not grinning at you:) Wonderful reflection!
I’m not sure who he was grinning at. 😯 thanks!
Yes, we will say ” Happy, Happy, Happy” 🙂 I sure wouldn’t want to ask him.
Yes I thought the prudent decision was to assume he was happy. The alternative is no good for anybody. 🙂
He looks happy!
That’s what I’m going with! 😀
I really like the Zipper effect !
Well he’s a good looking guy!
Yes he is !
It’s always best to pass out a compliment to our friend in the swamp. 🙂
Yes from the bridge !
Good idea.
No doubt about it, Phil. What a friendly-looking, smiley fella he is, to be sure. 😀
Friendly, yes that’s a good way to look at it Sylvia! It’s better for everybody that way. 😀
Superb shot… 🙂
Well I’m very happy you liked this alligator photo!
Nice shot Phil–Happy that Mr. alligator wasn’t frozen!!!
Thanks, and our friend Mr. Alligator does not like being frozen! 😯
Looks happy to me too. Is it still chilly down there? It looks like his scale are standing up.
Sure, we might as well go with happy, why not right?! 🙂
Last week was very chilly but warming up now and we should be in the 70s for this upcoming week.
That does look like a grin to me!
Well that’s what I’m goin’ with. 🙂
Nothing says happy like a giant row of teeth in a frozen smile!
That’s exactly what I was thinking!
Yeah it definitely looks like he is smiling!
I hope he is smiling, and I hope he is happy. 🙂
I was wondering where Mr.Aligator was 🙂 This is amazing photograph, I loved the reflection of him… Great shot. Thanks and Love, nia
Mr. Alligator has been hiding for the winter, but he will come out to take a look around if we get a sunny day.
Thanks for looking Nia!
At least he is smiling – I think!
‘I think’ too Maggie so why don’t we just go with he is happy and he is smiling?! 😀
Of course he`s happy.., he`s the total chief he is 🙂 🙂 No asking needed:)…
Oh yes he is at the top of the food chain out that with no one to bother him. Well… except for a larger alligator! 😯 🙂
Reblogged this on GEMS's Live MSN Blog News and Info. Puget Sound Area...
Hey cool! Thanks much for the reblog!
Happy and quite cool looking guy…
He is a cool, happy looking dude isn’t he?!? 🙂
He is! 😀
Superb shot Phil. Do you think someone told him a joke? 😀
He sure looks like he is enjoying a joke Lucy! I know some of the ducks can be entertaining story tellers so you never know… 🙂
A perfect shot of a happy face :D.Thank you for making me smile Phil 🙂 🙂
I’m super happy you enjoyed this photo Paula and got a smile out of it! 🙂
What a spectacular photograph of such a dangerous beast. He looks small. What size lens and how far away were you when you captured this masterpiece? Love your birds as well.
