...from Brazos Bend and surrounding areas. One of the world's best underwater photographers, Davis Doubilet, said once about shooting Great White Sharks that while he had hundreds of images of then, only a handful really conveyed their "sharkness". I feel the same way about alligators: You can take a million shots of an alligator with just its eyes above surface, but getting something more interesting or esoteric is tougher. Hope you enjoy...

again Erik. All the photos are good but I especially like the one "moving between ponds". Most pictures of alligators (when they're not killing something) make them look like slow, lazy animals. That thing just looks powerful and fast. I can just imagine speeding down a bike trail and seeing that just crossing my path.

Hi Erik, that was a fun post, it looks like you are blending well into your new home. I have been out to the So. Cal desert and now the Nothern Sierras, and I am still thrilled to find what's here, but it would be thrilling to see something new. I especially enjoyed the photo of the 'gator in the oblique setting Sun rays. Have fun and keep us informed. Have you spotted a Drymarchon yet? Post some turtle photos, we California herpers are somewhat deprived of Chelonians despite the otherwise incredible bio-diversity. Vic Herrick-Oroville, CA.
