Animal, Vegetable, Miracle

"I'll tell you a secret. When I want to take God at his word
exactly, I take a peep out the window at His Creation." [...]
"The flowers and birds and all, you mean to say that's your Gospel."
-Barbara Kingsolver, The Poisonwood Bible

If I had to pick five pictures to describe the incredible beauty of the Place Where The Alligators Roam, it would be these.

I must admit that beautiful though the place is I, too, was amused by the thought of the apparent proximity of the subjects of the last two photos.

Although they weren't in the same section of the lake as most of the alligators, the ducklings in a line made us laugh for the very same reason. A hungry alligator could just sit there with its mouth open and have a tasty lunch swim right into it. (Or alternatively, swim behind the line and chomp them one by one)
