Alligator in the reeds

I went to see my alligator friend again tonight after putting the kids to sleep.  I couldn't find him at first, but then I spotted him hiding in the reeds.  He was making the water vibrate around him, causing all sorts of ripples.  I thought the reflections were really pretty.  Such a peaceful way to end the day...just me, the alligator, crickets, and about a trillion no-see-ums and mosquitoes.  ;)
