On the trails at BBSP, I carry a 6' stick . Folks often ask why. On 02/02/2025 I showed folks how to use it to estimate the length of a gator that had crossed in front of us. Note the tail & head relative to trail edges. Place stick on the same spot & compare. video: http://www.rickubis.com/rick/gatorcross020225.mp4 #Alligator #Wildlife

Image 1 of 4 View of a dirt trail bounded by short grass on both sides. The trail is across the bottom of the image, then narrows as it curves away from us at distance. 2 people are in the background, facing us with cameras. Between us a very large, dark grey alligator is crossing the trail from left-to-right. It is in mid-step during high-walk, so its body is lifted off the ground. Its heavy tail is dragging, and the tip of it overlaps the left trail-edge by a couple inches. The alligator's snout is above the right trail-edge and extends past that edge by most of the length of its jaw.

Image 4 of 4 Closer View of the left edge of a dirt trail bounded by short grass shown in image #1. The trail is across the bottom of the image, then narrows as it curves away from us at distance. This is the same image as #2 (along with the people), but with a larger view of the stick's position. A red oval behind under the rear hip marks a short line at the left edge, near the end of the stick, and a small pebble above the stick. This indicates the points I used to index the stick location when I estimated the length of the alligator. I've been a volunteer at this park for over 20 years, doing Nature Interpretation and other things. It is always wonderful to see the Alligators...and all the other things that live in the park.

Image 2 of 4 View of a dirt trail bounded by short grass on both sides. The trail is across the bottom of the image, then narrows as it curves away from us at distance. This is the same image as #1, but the alligator has just gone. 5 people are at middle distance. The top of the image has cut off their heads, but judging by the direction of the feet, they are looking to our right. They are actually watching the alligator that had crossed the trail in image #1 and gone into Elm Lake, which is also to our right. They are standing on the trail exactly where the alligator had crossed. A thin (1 inch diameter) stick is touching the left edge of the trail, and extends straight right to a bit past the middle of the trail. The stick is 6 feet long (1.83m). The space from the end of the stick to the right edge of the trail is more than half the length of the stick (or about 4 feet). That would mean the trail is about 10 feet across...and the alligator was longer than the trail was wide; so it was at least 10 feet long. This was on Feb. 2, 2025 at Brazos Bend State Park. The park covers 5000 acres, has 7 lakes and about 30 miles of trails. About 300 alligators of breeding size (>= 6feet) plus however many younger ones live there. They roam freely.

Image 3 of 4 Closer View of the left edge of a dirt trail bounded by short grass shown in image #1. The trail is across the bottom of the image, then narrows as it curves away from us at distance. This is the same image as #1, but with a larger view of the alligator's hindquarters. A red oval behind under the rear hip mark a short line at the left edge, and a small pebble next to the feet. This indicates the points I used to index the stick location in the following image.

Well...ok we are back to a swamp not a marsh...sorry folks.
As an apology, have an alligator.

in the distance beyond the green floating on the water, is a log. on the log is an alligator sunning itself. Trees frame the image out of focus as we are looking past them.

A hand holding a small knitted alligator. She's a very round alligator. She has two knots of white yarn for teeth, and little stubby legs.

New at Haiku, Alligator 24.12.2, a slim Kirigami based RSS feed reader, this one doesn't use QtWebEngine and therefor could be ported over to Haiku with the KDE 6 frameworks.

Enjoy!

May I interest you in some silly animal pins?
https://www.straysongdog.com/

Enamel pin held between two fingers. The pin is of a green alligator wearing orange sunglasses,surfing on a big blue wave. There is an orange retro sunset behind them.

Enamel pin laying on a black background. A thylacine in bright, retro colors set against a sunset, inside of a blue and purple triangle. It says "Don't you forget about me"

Acrylic pin set against a grey background. It's made of glittery pink acrylic. It is of a green worm on a string wear a hot pink cowgirl hat, wrapped around a stripper pole. It says "somebody come get her, she's dancing like a stripper"

Enamel pin held between fingers. It is of a blue coyote wearing pink sunglasses and eating pizza, while riding on an orange and purple skateboard. There is a sunset behind them

Happy Valentine's Day! There's a lot of love out there, I'm not sure if bringing an umbrella will be enough!

A drawing of an alligator standing outside in the rain while holding an umbrella. He wears a button up shirt with the sleeves rolled up and a bowtie. Hearts are pictured raining from the sky. The alligator has his eyes closed and is smiling. He has one hand out in order to catch a drop of rain and its implied he caught a heart and became a bit pink.

I saw some tea at the grocery store which I instantly bought because it had an alligator on it.
At the recommendation of another, I drew my own version of it. I hope you enjoy raspberry lemon iced tea!

Inspired directly by a can of Halfday Lemon Iced Tea.

A drawing of a cartoon alligator named Relish. He wears a pair of red goggles with a white strap, a life ring that resembles a donut, as well as pink floral-pattern swim tunks. The life ring has a detailed pattern with shades of purple and sprinkles that make it look like a galaxy. He is also stepping on a beach ball with his right foot while wearing a warm smile. The background is yellow with pink.

A mockup of a can of iced tea. The can reads "Alligator Iced Tea" with the previous drawing on the can. Alongside the artwork of a life-ring and goggle-wearing alligator are three little stars. It probably tastes like Raspberry Lemonade with Iced tea as hinted by the yellow and pink colors of the background.

The first image of the alligator but with the background replaced with that of a beach with waves going towards the viewer. The background was a picture taken by the artist while on vacation.

@Fischblog Das Youtuber-Fotograf-Phänomen.

Ich warne inzwischen, sich DIY-Tipps für Woodworking, Einbau von Küchenelementen oder Elektrik aus dem Internet zu holen. Selbst ohne AI geht das schnell tödlich aus.

Glücklicherweise kann das bei Fotografie nicht so schnell ... 'Sie brauchen kein grosses Tele, schalten Sie einfach von Full Frame auf APS-C in der Kamera.'

Today’s TIL is a doozie.

Apparently there are crocodiles native to the U.S. A formerly endangered species of crocs which coexist with alligators in Florida have been downgraded to threatened thanks in part to a nuclear power plant.

Check it out.
