Morning Float

Here’s our good buddy Mr. A yesterday after he came over to say hello. He kind of just laid there for a bit looking at me with only his head sticking up out of the water until eventually floating off to find a nice nap spot.

Don’t you just wonder what he could possibly be thinking? Hope it’s not trying to decide whether you’d make a nice snack.

  I would love to know exactly what’s going on in that reptile brain of his. I don’t think he wants to snack on me though, I’m too old, tough, and chewy.

You have really captured his primordial nature in this photograph.

  They really are about the closest thing we have to a living dinosaur.

  He is probably hoping there will be some crunchy crabs out this season like there were last season. These guys love crabs!

The flat contrast and high key lighting really allows the ruddy tones of his eyes to stand out. That and those scaly horns give an eerie or even evil look to your buddy here.

  He would be happy to hear that you think he is evil or scary looking. That’s what he counts on, it’s much better for his reputation. Me calling him cute just ruins everything.

That is a “Look into my eyes, you are getting sleepy” look. I bet he was licking his chops before he submerged.

  He can try that hypnotic look on me but I’ve seen it before and I’m wise to his tricks. There are still some ducks around that I bet would fall for that in two seconds. 😮

Whoa, love that orange tint, really enhancing its evil look! B-)

  He does his best to look as scary as possible, it’s much better for his reputation that way. Thanks very much for looking and commenting!

  I’m always smiling when he is staring at me. Doesn’t hurt to play it safe.
