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.

Bellissimo scatto, però lui non mi sembra molto felice, forse non c’era abbastanza sole 🙂

Mr. Alligator has been hiding for the winter, but he will come out to take a look around if we get a sunny day.

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.
