Birds on a warm shingled roof.
Another bird perched on cattail.
A duck on the limited supply of water.
And then this head popped up. I stopped and he just sat there looking at me.
Then I passed a ditch and saw this little guy.
As I headed out, another alligator was coming out of a different ditch onto the road. It's like we stopped and saw each other at the same time. He immediately turned around and headed back into his ditch. I missed him. I even sat there with my window open, braving the mosquitoes, and waited for him to come back. Nothing.
I think one day soon I might try to get out there even earlier. The sign said they're open sunrise to sunset. I should be able to find something but it'd probably be a lot easier if the ponds had water in them. Another note for next time: take a little Off contraption with the fan. One for me and one to put in front of the air vent.
