Well, you can really know who your friends are by what they say. My “good” friend Richard suggested that if I wanted to get some really good pictures of an alligator that I could go to the Ashley River, tie a couple of chickens around my neck and spread some mustard on my stomach. This way, I could get some up close and personal shots of an alligator! Thanks, Richard! 
Well, I went back to the river the other day, but no gators were spotted so I’ll just have to do with this substitute! When i was at Isle of Palms, I saw this quite cleaver sand creation. There is an alligator, a couple of heads without bodies, and a female body with a missing head. Whoever the artist was, sure did a great job, don’t you think?
So. there you have it Richard. Here’s your alligator shot! Incidentally, when I went back to the river, I left the mustard and the chickens at home!

Paul, Maybe you should offer Richard some advice for getting those great Rattlesnake macro photographs down there in Texas…
I like chicken and mustard idea. If I have chicken around my neck, mustard on my stomach wouldn’t my scary face be a better shoot
Thanks Paul for the great shot. It will do for now until we can get some of that National Geographic type stuff I’m waiting to see from you. I hear “here gator gator” works really good and the smell of mustard/chicken is an aphrodisiac to them.
To Earl: I can get those macro rattlesnake shots for you. Which would you prefer, belt or boots. lol.
