Alligator Dreams - SteemitPhotoChallenge Entry 1 - SPC 29 - with a mini-contest inside!
I'm stuffed. And we won't be seeing Trainer Bob any more. It's a good day.
Hello! You say you want to rub my belly? That's what Trainer Bob said, too.I hope you enjoyed these photos of this alligator that was hanging out at my local County Fair. Kids got to hold this guy on their lap and have their photos taken -- for a price, of course. I was able to get a couple pictures of the hard-working gator while he was on break. They kept the area pretty dark, so I was glad these images came out OK.
Here's a tip for holding an alligator that I learned from watching this successful enterprise. Hold the gator's mouth shut and tilt his head upward. They even had 5-year old kids holding this alligator that way!
I am only entering photo 1 in the challenge.
But I making my own little 2-part contest here.
Contest rules: Come up with captions for these photos. I will leave a comment for each photo. Put your caption under the reply for the photo it belongs to. I will choose my favorite and give 1 SBD to one winner for each caption. The contest will be closed when the winners of the overall PhotoChallenge 29 are posted. Have fun!

"Nothing like a relaxing location to digest a large meal."
That's a good one! I bet that gator liked the low light levels -- better for napping! ; )
Winning caption! Check your wallet. Thanks for playing along with my Alligator portrait and mini-contest.
Yeah, Papa is a winner! Thanks!
You're welcome.
"I can smell the human on this hat. Where did he go? I'm hungry!"
Good one! He better not be hungry when the next kid picks him up for a photo session, lol!
"Mmmmh, nothing like the smell of slightly baked human..."
Mmmmmh! I wonder if he smells all the food from the booths at the fair, too! ; )
"I'm sexy and I know it."
"Where is that cabana boy with my uh...snack?"
Sorry, @merej99. Your entries got in after the SteemitPhotoChallenge winners had been announced, which was my deadline. Thanks for your creative captions. You captured a side of that gator that nobody else saw. Aww, what the heck. It's my contest and I can do what I want. Check your wallet.
That's so sweet @haphard-hstead you really didn't need to do that. I think I found the alligator post because of either Discord chat or someone else I follow resteemed it. . :D Honestly, I hadn't even looked at the deadline. It just looked like fun to play along.
Well, I'm glad some folks played along! And I laughed at your captions. : )
Put your caption for photo 2 as a reply to this comment.
"And he told them I wouldn't bite!"
haha! He had it coming, I guess! :O
"I wish I could wipe this smile off my face. I look guilty!"
He does look so guilty! :D
Winning caption! Check your wallet. Thanks for playing along with my Alligator portrait and mini-contest.
Wow, I appreciate that! How kind!
I appreciate you playing. And that gator does look guilty of something!
This is Sally Mander and her pet hat. Some say she's crazy but she's really having an identity crisis.
Thanks!
