Ghostly Gator
Resident of alligator farm in Saint Augustine, FL.
Crossing over a gator pond in Saint Augustine, FL, I found myself mesmerized by this albino alligator that
hails from the Louisiana bayou.
Loch Ness Mini
Discovered swimming in Atlantic Ocean off Key West, FL
Residents of Coconut Beach Resort were all a flutter with a three-foot (or so) animal that kept crossing back
and forth in the bathing area about 30 yards off shore. Turned out to be one of the resident green iguanas out for
a leisurely romp in the surf.
Neighbor Buffalo
Herd kept on the North Quarter Farm in Riverhead, NY
Growing up in the farmlands of Eastern Long Island, where potato was king, gave me access to all manner of
farm animal -- chickens, pigs and cows. But nowadays directly across the street from where I was raised as a
pre-teen in Riverhead, NY, folks are surprised to come across a pasture featuring a fully-developed herd of
buffalo. I bring visitors to the area to introduce them to my newest friends in the old neighborhood.
