Bob the Gator

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On our way back home from the trip we took along the east coast last year we were driving through the Everglades in Florida and we saw a sign that said "Get your picture with an alligator" and being the animal lover/daredevil that I am, I did it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br/></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Bob the Gator was about 5 yrs old, and so tame. The only reason he had the muzzle on was because it was the law. When I wasn't holding him, the guy took the muzzle off. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For this layout I took 2 sheets of 12x12 paper and cut them both into 1" strips and then weaved them all together to make the background. I really love how it turned out, I think it worked perfectly for an alligator page!</div>

I used pictures from the snorkeling trip we took out in Key Largo for this page. I had bought me a cheap underwater camera so that I could take pictures of the coral reefs, and fish. We saw a 6ft long nurse shark too, but I didn't get a picture. :(</div>
