These pictures came from my friend Scott as he was driving out of the area where he lives, about 20 - 25 miles from where I'm at. Don't ever let anyone tell you that there are no alligators in northern Louisiana.

Is that Lyle Lyle the Crocodile out for a walk?
ReplyDeleteWell, the good thing is, that you did not find him at your front door step or in your yard hiding under a bush.
My WW is a lovely sandcastle -- you might want to stop over and refresh yourself!
I live in too tame an area for an alligator to wander into, not that it couldn't happen but it's not likely. Scott lives next to a Wildlife Refuge so it's not a surprise that he would see this. Besides, Mr. Woody K. Nibs, the great hunter cat, would make short work of this guy at my house! lol
ReplyDeletewas that croc out on the wild? i wouldn't wanna be in the shoes of the one who took that shot..
ReplyDeletehope you can also check out our WW posts here and here
Holy cow, that is strictly a "zoo shot" here in CT. I can't even imagine running into a beastie like that in the wild!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by to see my WW shot!
Oh wow! Here in PA we don't see those in the wild! But I have seen one in Northern Florida--they are so much bigger in person than at the zoo!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots :)
That would just scare the daylights out of me! And maybe the bejeebers! LOL!! Great shots, though. :D
ReplyDeleteHappy WW!
Uh, that would FREAK me out!
ReplyDeleteI hope Scott was using a long lens!
ReplyDeleteThat's a scary-looking creature.
Nope, Nope, Nope, that's not right to see something like that on the side of the road! They are great pictures, but I think I would keep on moving!
ReplyDeleteI don't think our guinea pig would be able to fend off this green dude. What a being!
ReplyDeletei'll keep that in mind. i'll faint if i see one.
ReplyDeleteHappy WW.
I agree with Lily... WOW. I've never seen anything quite like this, except in horror films!
ReplyDeleteI am speechless. :)
What a great animal
ReplyDeleteOh my! I'd be scared to have any kind of car trouble along the highway....
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting "Got Bible" and I agree with you re: science and religion. :)
Whoa, he is huge and looks very full already---but I wouldn't want to tempt him. MB
ReplyDeletePS> I hope your back gets better---I know what you mean by aging gracefully--where is Grace anyway. MB.
looks like you got company.
ReplyDeletethis is scary not just for captain hook.
c",) Morning Sniffles
Great photos. I hope they were taken with a long lens!
ReplyDeleteShhhh. Don't tell my mother, but we have alligators very close to our house, much closer then she imagines!
ReplyDeleteohh!!! nice one for WW! mine's up too hope you can drop by...
ReplyDeleteI don't know how I'd react if I seen one so close to my home.
ReplyDeleteHi, popping in from the WW site. That is one big alligator! Happy WW!! :o)
ReplyDeleteI think I'd rather put up with the potential of earthquakes here in California rather than risk seeing of of THOSE in my yard. Eeeek! It sure makes for a great picture though. I just prefer to shoot them through the glass at the zoo. :)
ReplyDeleteWOWOWOW!
ReplyDeleteI would have guessed Florida.
Who knew?!
I'm not sure that I would have stuck around to take those pictures! Your friend obviously isn't a ninny like me!
ReplyDeleteO.M.G.
ReplyDeleteI think - no, I KNOW I would freak.
lol - I doubt Joel would want to take this one on!!
Props to Scott for the shots!
That's a really impressive gator. I'll never doubt there are gators in northern Louisiana again.
ReplyDeleteWow. I don't think I would want to run up on that fellow!!!
ReplyDeleteNot really an issue here in TN but you never know...
{{shudder}} - I hope he was the in safety of his car when he shot the photographs! Gators are fast!
ReplyDeletePeace - D
(Thanks for visiting my post today!)
Yikes! Noooooo words necessary!!! Except for Eeeeeeeeek!
ReplyDeleteRe: Your comment in Mary Beth's blog entry...
The recent moon was the May Full Flower Moon.
The New Moon is at a different time of the month. But there is a New Moon and a Full Moon, each and every month. :-)
But one of the 'Twilight' series of books, is called 'New Moon.' Perhaps that is what Mary Beth was thinking of...

Alligators! That's one creature you do not want to run into in the middle of the night! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy WW! Thanx for stopping by.
Crocs scare me! We went on a tor of the Okefenokee (sp?) swamp last year. WAY to many crocs in close vicinity to me! :D
ReplyDeleteBTW: Thanks for visiting and commenting on my WW post!
Wow! They are so primeval looking. I wouldn't want to meet one along the road. Isn't he supposed to be in the water? What's he doing inland? Eeek.
ReplyDeleteGod...those creatures scares me!
ReplyDeleteHappy WW! What a "scary" creature.
ReplyDeleteThat's out in the public and not in the zoo??!! *gulpz*
ReplyDeleteOh geez ! I just imagine that charming companion in my garden, lol ! We only have crocodiles in the Zoo !
ReplyDeleteWow! Look at that smile! :P
ReplyDeleteWow, those are huge!!!
ReplyDeleteEw...glad I don't live near these guys!
ReplyDeleteI live in FL and we have gators EVERYWHERE. I stay away from all bodies of water - even though I laugh at the signs that say "WARNING! Do not feed or molest Alligators!"
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting on my WW, too :)
WOW! That was the best WW I've seen. That was just awesome.
