Can you see all there is here?

Here's a pic we took on our current trip.

What do you see?


Hint:   Here is where it was taken:

No; it's not in Louisiana or Florida.



It's in south east Texas, at Martin Dies State Park, 
north east of Houston, 
about midway to the Texas-Louisiana state line.

Here's a color of the pic above. 
See the 2 alligators?

They came about 4 feet from shore and stayed there for over 30 minutes.
So, we put the camera about 2 feet from the water's edge,
and placed the tripod as low on the ground as possible. 

For safety's sake, we used a 6 foot cord to fire off the pictures, while staying back.

But when the one on the right came around behind the other one and touched it's tail….
that guy jumped about 10 feet out of the water (fortunately away from the camera) before making a giant splash in the deeper water.

Needless to say, we stayed far back after that for a long while!

But soon they got calm again, and we where able to snap a few more pics
as they stayed far away form each other…...
probably expecting a little treat from us campers on shore.
