I live near Brazos Bend State Park in TX, so I have lots of opportunities to observe alligators. This was one of those very quiet moments, when not a sound was heard....just a slight,graceful movement in the water.

I cropped this "incredibly close" in order to emphasize the gator. He looked so nondescript amongst all the duckweed around him...just a "sea" of green
