Gator hangs out a tiny pool of water …
 |
| This gator hole had an interesting design: The willow worked like a shady cave which led out into a deeper-water crease on one side of which was an elevated bank for sunning and probably a nest. |
And for good reason:
It’s bone-dry marl all around as far as the eye can see.
 |
| The marl prairie that surrounds the gator hole dried up by March |
Granted, you can’t see all that much from so low down!
