Nebulous Mooch

Not so long ago we went for a walk in the park and saw the most amazing fly. I don’t know what kind of fly it was, maybe a horsefly. Are they really big ones that buzz loudly? If they are then it was definitely a horsefly.

Anyway this fly was hovering right in the middle of the path about the height of my head. I almost walked into it. That’s how we discovered it. It was just sitting there in midair. This was a very talented fly.

My husband wanted to get a picture of it, but every time he got the camera to focus on it the fly would quickly zoom around behind my husband’s head and then resume hovering there. It was a very talented fly indeed. It did this many times and my husband couldn’t get a good picture of it. He finally gave up.

We didn’t get a good picture of the fly so here’s another picture instead.

While walking in the park we saw an alligator. It swim under the boardwalk we were on. We have seen this alligator before. It is rumored that it has a nest near one of the trees a few feet from the boardwalk. The last time we were at the park it was lying by the tree. We thought it was dead because it had a Pepsi can and branches on its back. It even looked dusty. After discusses at length how long we thought it was dead and whether a park ranger will take it away, the alligator suddenly shook its head.

This time my husband took its picture. I wouldn’t do it because I was too afraid to lean over the railing to get a good shot. This is the picture. I have a question for all of you. How many alligators are in this picture? My husbands says there is only one in the center of the picture beneath the branches. I say there is a second one in the left corner. He disputes this saying that there was only one alligator.
