Remembering Dolly Parton at Pensacola’s Graffiti Bridge 💛

“Dolly, I will always love you.”

Dolly Parton, January 19, 1946 – August 26, 2026. A country music icon, songwriter, actress, and philanthropist who meant so much to so many.

When I first got down there, two yellow butterflies were flying around the mural. I happened to catch them on video, which I’ll share too. Knowing that yellow was Dolly’s favorite color and she loved butterflies so much made the moment feel even more special 💛🦋

A rare and amusing backyard moment was captured when a homeowner noticed a American Alligator floating fully stretched out on a large inflatable lounge chair in the canal behind their house. The photo was discreetly taken from inside the home, allowing the alligator to be observed without disturbance. In the image, the alligator rests comfortably on the float, with its legs draped along the sides and head slightly raised, creating a humorous scene of a wild predator enjoying a leisurely float.

American alligators are large reptiles native to the southeastern United States, including Florida, where they inhabit freshwater rivers, lakes, swamps, and canals. While alligators generally avoid humans, they can occasionally be found exploring residential waterways, especially in areas adjacent to their natural habitats. Alligators are opportunistic and curious, sometimes investigating objects that enter the water, which can lead to unusual and entertaining encounters like this.

Wildlife experts recommend observing alligators from a safe distance and never attempting to approach or feed them. Moments like this provide a rare and entertaining glimpse into the behavior of these iconic Florida reptiles, highlighting their adaptability and the surprising ways they can interact with human spaces.
