An alligator in Menton?


An alligator in Menton? Silly! We don't have alligators in Menton. Can't you see this is a crocodile...she said confidently, not at all sure if this is an alligator or a crocodile...

So for Isabella, an allicroc or perhaps a crocogator, but enough to remind us of her beautiful Naples Daily Photo blog, where you'll find lots of real alligators. Go check it out today for the fishing and the pelicans - click HERE. Hmmmm...not seen any of those around here? Perhaps I'll take a look in the Vieille Ville - you never know what you'll find up there.

This sand sculpture was built next to the Christ figure. Remember him - see HERE? And he's still here, 7 weeks later! No rain for over a couple of months, so he's not washed away although perhaps someone keeps rebuilding him. And if you'd enjoy seeing really amazing sand sculptures go to Port Angeles Daily Photo HERE.

  2. Maybe it is just a caïman. Anyway it is better to have it in sand than for real :-))
    Have a nice weekend...

  6. When I was visiting Florida once I was told that a crocodile has a smile whereas an alligator doesn't it. So that leads me to believe it is an alligator in the sand there.

    It's good to know he rests so long, undisturbed by weather or humans.

  7. You are too kind, mizz JB!

    Although I like your scientific (!) classification "allicroc", this is most definitely a croc, since we can see the teeth!

    And I prefer to sit on yours rather than flee from mine, anytime ;-)

  8. It looks as though someone had a good time. I'm with Isabella...this is the only one I would get close to.

  14. Gotta love Linkwithin - it brought up this old photo today and I'd missed it back then - early August 2007 I had just arriving in Avignon, didn't have access to a computer and was busy looking for an apartment.

    That croc is a winner!
