Visitor

Just when I start enjoy life in Florida, the neighbor comes for a visit.  He lives in a pond behind the church and must have thought he’d find a mate in my yard. 

He got scared off by the sound of a semi coming down the road,

and nearly became road kill.

However, he made it safely across the road and under the driveway to the church before the resident gator hunter could get him.  The following day the hunter and a couple other guys dragged him (the gator) out of the culvert and hauled him away.  Sadly, we weren’t home so I could take pictures, but it sounded like quite the adventure.
