Aligators [FL - 6]

Meditative Oblivion, An Ancient Painting, Quiescent Danger, I have so many names for it, it's my favorite.

-- Look me in the Eye, LARGER please (click on it, or here) - you can observe the aligator's quiescent gliding on the duality : meditative leisure/strike and other subtle details to it which may have you love it.
Waited for the slowly sliding on the surface 'gator to align eye(s) with a tree reflection, probably had to hold a few miliseconds more, but it's fine anyway. The front and back of head aligned with more trees' reflections, Nature is so perfect!
(would have said someone I knew)

Wow!! it had almost 18,000 views for 3.5 days on photo.net (among all these amazing high quality photo work there). Just ~1.5K clicks shy of the naked photo of Satine Phoenix on white satin in seductive pose with her butt up (the Italian/Phillipina Hustler hottie I mean; and boy, she is very hot even with clothes on!)!

-- What a connection there may be between beast / human! - hard to imagine, at least I could not before I saw it. The wild aligator was coming, coming out of the water and following them, humble and quiet, to enjoy their closeness.

This is, by the way, from the best 'gator pond in the state according to Jim - whose expertize is unquestionable, just look at this award winning pic of his. You might also check out this another winner of his if the underwater world might get you excited. It did get me quite trilled - before and after the canceled in the middle (rough ocean) snorkeling trip to a coral reef at the Keys. Excited enough so that I was this close to borrowing Jim's underwater photog* equipment, insuring my most expensive camera and going to the Bahamas for sucuba diving & underwater photography with them. Oh, well, just short of a diving certificate, but not of braveness or shyness to try to do it anyway.
