An Alligator!

Keith and I went to the lake/pond by our house and were feeding the ducks. Below is the beautiful resident swan that likes to be where the action is. As we were sitting there peacefully we noticed something else moving in the water. I could have sworn it was an alligator (despite the fact that we don't get those here). I figured someone had a baby alligator and let it go in the water. (That's possible, right?) All we could see was this dark green lumpy round thing coming up slowly, just like an alligator does while it's waiting to get it's prey. It seriously looked like the eye or tip of the head of an alligator!!! Keith went closer to check it out as I stood on the bench. Then suddenly it came to the surface. It was a really cute turtle! And it liked to eat the bread! What a relief! :)
Here's the turtle swimming next to the swan. There was at least one other turtle out there also.
