Description
You see here the marsh grass. I'm at the head of a trail that goes behind the tall grass that is I guess at lest seven feet tall. But most the type of grass is about three to four feet tall. that the grass you see in front of you. I did not walk on the trail at all as I saw the grass in front of me mash down. I did not know what mash it down. Gators at this time of year here is sleeping like bears sleep in winter. Plus I know people go behind the tall seven foot grass to go to the rest room.
I heard a story of a lady going behind the tall grass and she pulled her pants down to use it but then people saw her running out real fast yelling with her behind still uncover and a gator was trying to bite her behind. I can picture it like the ad of the 1950's of the little girl having a dog pulling on her bathing suit. it was an ad for sun tan or was it for sun block? Any way it was funny.
No one was hurt and the gator went back into the grass.
I posting this to show how the marsh grass looks.
you can see some water in the background.

I bet that was a funny scene with the gator. Also it could be quicksand there, Jocko. Pretty shot!

This is one very cool capture Jock, and after hearing you're story the grass takes on a rather ominous appearance. I've never seen grass this tall before.

Cool depth in this shot, Jock. The grass goes for miles. And that must have been a hoot watching the lady running from the alligator before it took a bite out of her behind.
