....or How to Get Your Heart Started.....
Just after lunch I was wiping off the table in the breakfast nook where we eat. I happened to glance up and what to my wondering eyes should appear but our old pal, Alley Oop, the Alligator. He was smiling at me!
I grabbed the camera, all the while hearing in my head Beth's comment from another post, "Now please step *away* from the water--we really don't want any part of you to become an alligator snack." I didn't want to become a snack but I did want a good photo!
In the process of opening the door from the Florida room to the outside, the door made a noise. Before I could raise the camera, he flipped himself into the water with a loud ker-splash!
He went north on our little lake, pouting all the while because I had disturbed his sunbath. Throughout the afternoon, I kept checking. He did come back our way and was pretty close again but stayed in the water.
Before you ask, I'd say he's about five feet long.
