This photo was taken the same day as the second to last entry I submitted. Myakka is a wild place, and this scene is very common. Most times, you can see big groups of large alligators such as these along the river banks. During mating season, there can be hundreds! Side note: Back in 1971 Carole King's "Tapestry" album was released. I can still remember as a small child hearing songs from that album being played every 5 minutes on the radio! I mention this, because Carole King had a song called "Alligators all around" it is a bit bizzare, but was was the 1960's and 70's after all. You can hear it here Photo taken March 2014.

They look like they have just been retreaded Alex.
Wonderful capture. I believe it letting a sleeping gator lie.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

Alex, I had the intention to go for a swim there, but I've changed my mind, 😜 !
They seems to do a nap now, but to me it's an 'action shot'!

Snoozing giants ready to jump any moment. Good capture.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.

I was not aware of the children's song that Carole King did but as our Saturday Night at the Movies also accepts music videos this would make a great addition to our movie and music collection, Alex...meantime, with all the gators here, I won't linger any longer except to say, super shot!
