Not a Pretty Picture
Thought I'd post here seeings I live in Miami.
This is the state of Big Cypress right now in this drought. Most alligators have gone looking for holes with water, while a few hang on to what they've got or don't have.
The markings in the mud are gator tracks and a few birds. I thought if I went any closer I'd get stuck and that lonely gator out there might be hungry.

Nice environmental picture. May be I can see something myself, but for the time beiing I have to do it with zoo animals :).

Nice image Wayne, and it sure tells the story! Maybe all your water has come up here to Plum Orchard on Cumberland Island, Georgia as seen in this recent image! I think my alligator must be in heaven with his waterhole in comparison. Only instead of having a mud issue, he has an algae issue.
