This photo taken right outside of Jackson, Mississippi might appear as peaceful as the next. But there, in the center of the shot, the photographer (me) captured the North American alligator on film. Averaging 13 feet (this one only being about 5 feet or less), this alligator mississippiensis (no, seriously - that's the real name) taunted us with his beauty and power. If you had seen us as we got out of the boat you would undoubtedly argue that our empty bottle of Jack Daniels did much of the same.
After five days of celebrating my brother's graduation from Ole Miss, I was happy to return to the crisp, clean air of Kansas. The south certainly has charm, though. Hot, muggy, sauna-like charm.
