Unexpected Beauty

Alligators don’t typically find themselves in the presence of adjectives such as “beautiful” and “stunning.” Yet, as fearsome as they may appear, it is impossible to examine this gator’s eye in morning sunlight and not use such terms.  “I’ve learned that if you are fortunate enough to locate an American Alligator in just the right light (in this case, at sunrise), so that the light illuminates the alligator’s eye, you are in for an incredible show. The eye seems to be a golden orb, composed of infinite layers, creating a beautiful texture unlike anything I’ve ever seen. “I don’t know if I’ve seen any other animal’s eye reveal such a remarkable display in sunlight. It motivates me to continue exploring and searching for more unexpected beauty throughout Creation.”
