This is a picture of a fine fishing
hole in the Henderson Swamp , about 20 miles west of Baton Rouge. I've
spent a lot of time around here. If the fish ain't biting relax, and kick
back. We don't get in a hurry in the swamplands. Open your eyes and you
may have a few visitors...
Like
a couple of gators out for a morning swim. Caution,
this is Spring and mating season. That large male don't cotton much to
being disturbed, when such important matters are at hand.
"
Ahhhh, That was a nice swim. Now I think I'll just lay up here on the shore
and sun a spell."
Remember most of the
pictures were taken with a long lens. Even though that gator is grinning,
he can still out run you on hard ground. Gators won't normaly attack but
they do have short tempers. And if the front don't get you, that tail can
bring you down to his level, quickly.
Here's a young, soon to be Mama, gettin her nest ready.
