T-Shirt Tuesday: “Savannah Wildlife T-Shirt Series” #4

Recently, when Robert and I drove over to the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge, I fell in love with a series of very cool T-shirts featuring area animals and what we can learn from them. So I decided to feature one on each T-shirt Tuesday for a while.

Today, the Awesome Alligator.

Okay, TIB (Truth in Blogging): I respect this animal, but am ridiculously scared of him/her as well. The alligator is common in my area of the country. They are found primarily in freshwater swamps and marshes, as well as in rivers, lakes and smaller bodies of water. My older daughter and her family live over on Skidaway Island here in Savannah. Alligators often sun themselves on the banks of lagoons bordering houses.

My first grandson Daniel was just a little one when I would carry him or push him in the stroller on walkways near some of those lagoons. I would always get so very nervous when I would see an alligator stretching out in the sun. I would pick up my pace.

This is the only type I can tolerate …

And even with a baby alligator, I look a tad disheveled and out of mental control.

Here are a few of Robert’s pictures of alligators from our travels near us. I am posting them with my eyes closed. So I hope you are able to see them.

Actually, some of the alligator’s advice is pretty sage. Although I can’t remember any of it, and can’t force myself to scroll back up to read it. You do that for me, please.
