THE APPETIZER….

I CALL THIS MAN, “THE APPETIZER”.

SEE THE LITTLE BIT OF GREENERY IN THE FAR UPPER RIGHT CORNER?

THAT MY FRIENDS IS THE “ROOKERY”, THE LITTLE ISLAND THAT ALL OF THE BIRDS ARE FLOCKING TO FOR NEST BUILDING AND RAISING THEIR YOUNG.

THE REASON THE ROOKERY IS SUCH A, (Semi), SAFE PLACE FOR THE BIRDS IS DUE TO THE PRESENCE OF TWO LARGE ALLIGATORS THAT PATROL THE WATERS SURROUNDING THE ISLAND.

THERE IS A NICE GRAVEL PATH SET A DECENT DISTANCE BACK FROM THE EDGE OF THE WATER FROM WHICH OBSERVERS CAN, WELL, OBSERVE.

THE GRAVEL AREA ALSO GIVES THE OBSERVERS A GOOD HEAD START SHOULD ONE OF THE ALLIGATORS DECIDE TO BE FRIENDLY.

THIS MAN RUSHED PAST THE OBSERVERS WHO, SILLY CHICKENS, VALUE THEIR LIVES AND KEPT THEIR FEET FIRMLY PLANTED ON THE GRAVEL PATH.

HE HURRIEDLY PLOPPED HIS LITTLE CHAIR DOWN AT THE WATERS EDGE AND THREW HIMSELF DOWN IN IT…YOU KNOW HOW IT IS IF YOU’RE A PHOTOGRAPHER…YOU ALWAYS WANT TO GET CLOSER.

OBVIOUSLY THIS MAN HAS NEVER SEEN THE MOVIE “CROCODILE DUNDEE”.

LET ME JUST SAY THIS, THE BIG GREEN THING SWIMMING BELOW THE SURFACE SOMEWHERE OUT THERE IN THE WATER WITH ALL THE TEETH IS FAST, VERY FAST AND IT DOESN’T CARE IF THIS GUY IS WEARING A “THONG” OR NOT…AN APPETIZER IS AN APPETIZER.
