He’s Baaaack!
The weather has started to warm up here in recent days and I suspected the alligators would soon start moving around and getting a bit more active.
So this morning I went over to the swamp just to look around, and I wasn’t there ten minutes when You Know Who pops his cute little head out from the brush along the side of the marsh! Our pal Mr. A glances over at me then tiptoes out and takes a nice leisurely stroll onto the path there and then drops down into the water for a slow swim.
Once the alligators start getting hungry it’s going to be a very interesting Spring out there! 🙂

We LOVE our dapper, dauntless, debonair Mr. A. :)! He’s looking rather quite healthy.
It doesn’t look like he lost any weight during his winter diet, but I bet he’s hungry now! 🙂
How very cool!
They are tons of fun! 🙂
Wow. and wow!
Thanks for looking and glad you liked these!
Direi che Mr. A è molto in forma, le foto sono bellissime!!
Ciao, Pat
Sono felice che tu piaceva vedere il nostro amico! Grazie Pat. 😃
I am glad that you have a good telephoto lens and extender. Hopefully you did some cropping also!
Yeah but he was still pretty much right in front of me, but ignored me as usual which is a good thing. 🙂
Good to see our old friend, and probably some new ones coming soon…….you have to have a great telephoto lens to get in this close, great shots, good to see summer is around the corner.
I had a feeling he would be around today. It’s always exciting when alligator season starts! 😃
What a fabulous sequence of shots!! And your written description captures the scene so well.
Hey thanks! I’m happy you liked seeing our good buddy and reading about his day. 😃
And he’s still smiling! Welcome back, old friend!
He looks like he got through the winter just fine too, but I bet he’s hungry!
Just glad we and our dogs don’t have to deal with Alligators at the bottom of our garden!
Yeah but alligators are so much fun! 🙂 Thanks for looking!
I was wondering when the gators would start moving. They have looked like big pieces of truck tires for months. Love seeing your daily photos of all the wildlife at Huntington Beach. I’m learning so how from you sharing your talent of being and expert photographer. Many thanks, S
Well I greatly appreciate your very kind comments and glad you enjoy the wildlife photos! Thanks 🙂
He’s got that interesting smile on his face like he’s up to something which I know put a smile on his face.
Oh don’t let that phony cute act fool you, he was definitely up to something.
Great photos. As long as you are not it’s dinner.
I’m too stringy and chewy, he wants a nicer meal than me. 🙂
Yay! It’s so nice to see him . He looks good. And he was close to you! 🙂
He does look pretty good, must have had a decent winter. Soon…he will be eating again and that’s always fun. 😀
He’s very cool.
He is one cool cat! 🐱
