A Visitor in My Back Yard

While taking my dogs out this morning something caught my eye in our pond and I wondered over a bit closer. Was it an alligator? Nah. After a second look; yep, it sure was. I ran in and grabbed my camera and snapped this shot before he went underneath the water. Some people have stray cats in their back yard....we have alligators. Not to worry, we are familiar with them and have a beautiful fence that surrounds our back yard to protect our doggies (and us!)
