It seems that this Gator is a regular visitor. He likes to hang out in the mulch next to our driveway. Saw him this morning was getting in the recycling bin and there he was just 4 yards away, well what can I say, I was really quick back inside. From the garage you can not really see him and I was for quite a while in the garage looking for things and sweeping. Last weekend hubby come back from a bicycle ride and close to our home a car was blocking the street, a neigbor that was guarding the gator which was taking a sun bath on the street. I went outside to take a look and he  had come closer and was laying in the mulch.

When I had the encounter with him this morning I texted hubby and he texted back, this gator must really like you... That's love. He send another text: Glad he behaved

Do you think I could collect some kind of toll from the gator he is using my lot on a regular basis??? Maybe he can get some kind of SunPass and stick it to his head.

Hubby took these pictures right after the gator got back into the pond from the safety of our screened porch

And a little later we had another visit from these beautiful sandhill cranes.

All pictures were taken on Florida's West Coast and the cranes are always around I don't see them every day but I can hear them in the morning and in the evening.
