photoartflightAlligator With Smile & Feather
I found this Alligator at the St. Augustine Alligator Farm. It looked like it was happy & smiling. Then I noticed the feather above it’s eye! Maybe it looked happy because it just finished a feathery meal. Or maybe the feather dropped down from the birds in the trees above the gator. The Alligators there actually protect the many nests in the rookery that are above the alligators. They keep many of the predators that would be attacking the nests from getting to the nests. It is amazing how many nests there are at the St. Augustine Alligator Farm.

Terrific close up, Reed! That’s quite the grin he’s got.
Thanks Belinda! It almost looks like it is smiling and we wonder why!
He does look quite pleased with himself!
Yes it does! Sort of smiling but we do not know why! But we can guess!
I love the feather, Reed, and of course the awesome alligator too. If I squint my eyes, I can see the alligator wearing a jaunty hat with that feather stuck into its brim. 🙂
Nice Mike! Did not think of that! Hope all is well & stay safe! Here they do not even want us walking outside. So just finding images to post from old outings.
Nice shot, Reed, it’s a gal, and she’s got a bow on her head! 😊
Wow Donna! Did not think of that!!
If he ate a bird it looks like he had a side of salad too. The croc who ate the canary. 🙂
Yes! It also looks like it is happy with itself! Looks like it is almost smiling!
