It's Show Time!

The Cove Singers have their performance of solos, ensembles, and choir tonight.  There is a dress rehearsal this morning at 10:30 and show time is 6 p.m.  I plan to stay around the Cove all day in between the two and enjoy the pool.  It's going to be 91 again today.

Despite eating mac and cheese and a gigantic salty soft pretzel for lunch and a pretty big peanut butter milkshake from Twistee Treat on the way home from rehearsal, I'm actually down another pound this morning to 285.  I shall not complain.

Gatorland was so much fun yesterday.  We did, indeed, see nesting birds, chicks, and eggs along with panthers, bobcats, thousands of alligators and crocodiles, giant tortoises, deer, emus, vultures, and so much more.  Here are some fun pictures from the day.

The iconic Gatorland much at the entrance.  Unfortunately, there was  fog on my lens from humidity, so it's blurry.

Mark's favorite exhibit is the group of four white alligators.  They are leucitic gators, not albinos.

You can see his blue eyes, not red!

These birds stand on the gator's back and move along with them as they swim.  Fun.

We've seen the Gator Wrestling show many times, but today's selected gator was quite feisty and not interested in cooperating.  Very exciting.

Breeding pond.  Hundred of gators and nesting birds are here.

Eggs.

Chicks!

Love the shady porch for watching the two panthers.

He obviously loved getting his head scratched!

Gator pile up.  LOL
