Nature

We love the beautiful fall colors, especially the reds.


We enjoy seeing the sunlight filtering through Spanish-moss.

We don't enjoy the alligators that sneak into the area ponds.

We especially don't like them when we like to play around the water.

The alligator above is just a lawn ornament, but we do have many alligators along coastal waters and ponds.  Our friend Buddy dog was in his front yard walking by his pond when a twelve foot alligator pulled him under. There was not supposed to be an alligator in this pond.  Alligators will travel from pond to pond, especially during mating season.  Buddy got away from the alligator and was taken to the vet.  He was sutured back together and died from the infection three days later.  Our mom and dad are very frightened of  ponds.

We miss you Buddy.
