You know I've always wondered about those warning signs you see at a water's edge saying, "Do not feed or aggravate the alligators." Was the sign REALLY meaning what it said or was it something to keep you out of the water? We've always thought it was the later...UNTIL we got up one morning to see the sun rise and saw this! Yep, a real gator. And he was at the water's edge close to the campground. I kept the photo numbers on each picture so you could see the sequence. Check out #2736! His eye is shining as he watches us! You'll also notice that the closer or the more he noticed us, the more he sank into the water. We backed off a little and got real still and it is in the later pictures that you see that he doesn't see us because he's rising to the top of the water again. A couple of the last pics were a little blurry but I wanted to show you how comfortable he was as he rose to the water's top again.
Spooky!!! I really can't believe we saw this. Oh, and by the way, this is the third time we'd seen him! Once early in the morning like this but my camera batteries quit on me and he got out of sight before I could get to the camper and reload. The day before this slide was taken we were watching the sunset (can you tell we love these two times of the day?). He was on the other side of the bay where it came to the water's edge (you have to watch that area folks because it seems that's where they love to be!!!). He was too far away for pictures before the light was gone.
