May 14 (UPI) -- A Florida woman out for her morning run came across an unexpected scene: a baby alligator beating the summer heat with a dip in a public fountain.
Lauren Shrage said she and her dog were out for their morning run in Palm Beach Gardens when she spotted something in the water in the fountain next to the Mirabella community's entrance gate.
She recorded video when she realized the object was actually a small alligator taking a dip in the cool water.
"Are you having a good day?" Shrage asks the gator in the video.
Shrage said a concerned neighbor eventually plucked the reptile out of the water and transported it to a more suitable body of water.

Goin’ down to Lillian’s Music Store
To buy a black diamond string
Gonna wind it up on my guitar
Gonna make that silver sing
Like it was Dreamville
A long time ago
A million miles away
All the trees were green
In Dreamville
I keep wakin’ up all by myself
With a Blue Jay in my brain
Flappin’ his wings
Making me sing
It was just about to rain
Like it was Dreamville
Where I was born
Light-years from here
And the air smelled good
In Dreamville
Like it was Dreamville
A long time ago
Light-years from here
And the trees were green
In Dreamville
Ridin’ with my momma
To Glen Springs Pool
Water was cold
My lips were blue
There was rock and roll
Across the dial
When I think of her
It makes me smile
Like it was Dreamville
A long time ago
A million miles away
All the trees were green
In Dreamville
In Dreamville
It was in Dreamville
A long time ago
Light-years from here
And the air smelled good
In Dreamville
In Dreamville
Sometimes Florida Man protects others from alligators roaming around!

Have a great time!
Thank you!
Thank you! I was planning one day by both Ginnie and Rainbow Springs, though my niece informed me that Ginnie Springs is no longer quiet due to the college aged youth heading there.
One of my best (grade school) friends told me to just rent a pick up truck and head to Ginnie Springs. She said it’s fine. I used to go to Rainbow Springs as a kid. Fond memories there. I appreciate the tip. I know this should be a memorable trip, and I hope for all the right reasons.
