Never Smile Like A Crocodile But This Is An Alligator

Barbara,

I have never heard of that expression, and thanks for enlightening me.  My grandfather talked about crocodile tears...Nice shot of the gator.  A

Barbara- they may look like they're smiling but I always keep my distance!! Great shot!

It certainly looks like it is smiling, probably since its basking in your wonder Florida sun, wish I was there today. Thanks for sharing Barbara

Thanks for sharing your photograph. 

Have an outstanding week with your camera in hand.

Have a great night!

Hello Barbara-Jo,

He's obviously enjoying the sunshine...and maybe he has his eye on what he considers a tasty morsel too - hence, the smile!

Six feet is pretty big in my opinion. What a neat sight to see. Do you see them often while you are out walking?

I agee with Debbie, six feet is BIG.  While visiting friends in Vero Beach two years ago, I had the opportunity to take  photos of an alligator .. s/he was also enjoying the sun when I snapped the photos.

large enough to serve up a bad day for dogs, cats, or you.  

Some places have geckos, others have crocs . . . God bless Mother Nature . . . 

Barbara-Jo - greeting one would certainly be a different experience for me.  I would keep my distance.

Hi Barbara-Jo Roberts Berberi, MA, TRC - Greater Clearwater Florida Residential Real Estate Professional ,  I think that probably would have ended my walk.

Barbara Jo, six feet is big enough to earn my respect!  I hope you had a zoom lens.

I've always been fascinated by them and will continue to do so from a nice, safe distance.

Barbara-Jo, he's smiling because he's trying to get a free meal from you (or maybe of you).

I hope you were using a telephoto lens. I would get too close but love that you took the shot.

He's just a little over the size that I like to jump on their backs... I bet Ronnie did though, right? :-)
