Good Friends?!
Two alligators enjoying a relaxing morning out on a little island in the marsh pond this morning.
I thought it was so cute that they were holding hands, uh I mean paws, uh I mean feet… uh whatever. 🙂

Absolutely precious. I think that’s your cutest alligator shot yet! They almost look cuddly. 😯
They do *almost* look cuddly! 🙂 It was funny because they only stayed like this for a couple minutes, then they both woke up and realized they were touching (Yikes) and went off into the water in separate directions.
Sweet!
Just a couple of buddies hanging out together. 🙂
Totally unique, I think. At least I’ve not seen such affectionate gators before….well, pictures that is as we don’t see many in the swamps up here. 🙂 Sweet shot, Phil.
I’m not entirely sure they realized they were being quite that affectionate. When they woke up they both quickly took off in opposite directions. 🙂
Ah, so we are seeing the gator version of “Planes, Trains and Automobiles”. . 🙂
I believe so!
They look like mirror images – cool shot
They really set themselves up nicely, thanks.
Love it. Fantastic photo Phil. And their smiley faces too. You could be going down a dangerous road here though encouraging people to rush up and hug gators because of your pix!
So you don’t think it’s a good idea that I have been telling tourists lately that those are just fake rubber alligators and you can go out and squeeze their nose to find out? 🙂
Glad you liked this photo!
Uno però ti guarda strano, forse hai disturbato la loro love story 😀
Ciao ciao, Pat
Essi sembrano essere in amore! 🙂
Did you ask them to strike that pose? It is an adorable (for gators) photo.
Well I often talk to them and offer suggestions on what I would like to see them do but they rarely pay any attention to me.
Of course they are adorable. 🙂
Ohh, denen möchte ich nicht begegnen. Tolles Foto.

Sie würden sie lieben! 🙂
Most people don’t use the word “cute” when they talk about alligators! Thank you for spreading the word that alligators can be endearing!
Oh they are plenty cute alright! Thanks Maleea!
What a wonderful photo, it is always so much fun to watch old friends get together.
Glad you enjoyed this alligator pic and it is nice to see them together.
Daw! Love…ain’t it grand? 🙂
Mating season should begin in a couple of weeks we will see how in love they are then. 🙂
So cute Phil !!! 🙂
Have a nice week end
Oh yes, they are plenty cute indeed! Thanks Sophie!
Maybe sleep walking got them into this position.
Could be, but when they woke up they ran in opposite directions.
“Oh heck! She looked good when I’d had a skinful last night, but ……….!”
Ha ha love it Maggie!
I think they’d had a night out on the town Phil. Gator hangovers perhaps.
That’s a good possibility, I myself have looked like that on a few Sunday mornings.
Cute. Looks like a posed fiftieth wedding anniversary picture…and explains why they took off a moment later.
Ha! It does look like a posed wedding anniversary photo! They left for the open bar maybe?
Best friends! This is the sweetest photo. 🙂 It’s like they knew they had the perfect little piece of basking ground, with the complementary greenery in the backgroud. 🙂 They look really realaxed, and very cute.
One thing about these guys, they sure know how to relax. Glad you enjoyed this friendly pair!
Never thought I’d use the words “endearing” and “alligator” in the same sentence, but that they are. Really cool photo, Phil.
I find myself using similar terms about them, it makes you stop and think for a minute but then you get used to it.
Thanks for checking these out!
You’re welcome, and thanks for putting alligators on our radar as photogenic subjects (but don’t let Mr. A know we think he’s photogenic – it might go to his already enormous head).
Oh his ego is as big as his nose. (Don’t tell him I said he has a big nose) 🙂
Can you imagine him wearing a rubber clown nose fir Halloween?!
He already has a built in look which would always be perfect for a scary Halloween costume but you are right, a clown outfit complete with big rubber nose should get him first prize at the costume contest! 🙂
I LOVE THIS SHOT! What a hoot!!! Thanks for posting. May I use this photo as an object lesson image on “Why Can’t We Just Get Along?” for those people up in Congress? *sigh*…
You would think that if these two can get along then anybody should be able to get along.
Glad you liked this friendly pair!
Cute! If one can say such a thing about a ‘gator. 🙂
I guess the overall scene is fairly cute, heh heh. 🙂 Thanks very much for looking and commenting Adrian!
