HE'S BAAAAAACK!

Absent these last 8-9 months, 'Charlie' the gator is back. Not sure if it's the same one as last year but, they all look so much alike. There were three of these fellows (girls?) around last year but we can't tell them apart. We've never gotten close enough to pick out any subtle marks to differentiate. The name was randomly picked.

He'll probably be around for the remainder of the summer. Luckily, he keeps to himself and has not been a bother. In fact, if we open the door to the patio, he immediately re-enters the pond. Some of our neighbors are quite afraid of him. The wildlife management people have been notified but will not respond and remove unless the gator is at least six feet in length.

Like, who's going to measure the beast!? Live and let live is the motto.
