A gator for Lance
"my brain then remembers that's the sound of a large gator. I turn around and yep, it's a
9-footer eyeballing me. Mmmmmm...scrambled Lance for breakfast." Lance

Lance, I hope the Gator you almost backed into wasn't as nasty as this guy. He gave me shivers as I was shooting him.

I'm sure it's a sweetie at heart :eek: The ripples between the nostrils and eyes is really cool.

Please tell me you had a looooong lens to catch that refugee from the cretaceous period! :eek:

Yikes is right.

That's a great shot, Bob.

I think mine was smaller. Yours looks like 10+ feet. It's amazing how those eyes just seem to say, "You're mine."

Great shot Bob, and beautiful creature. Gators are a true marvel of nature! Love 'em!

Cool! Very original - I like the pastel/almost monochrome look.
