Gator Crossing

Photo Information

While photographing some Moorhen chicks on one side of a levee this Gator came up directly behind me. I am not sure what made me turn around and look, but I moved out of it's path. Was still too close to get whole gator in photo at 150mm, minimum for the lens I was using.

I love 'em but I don't think I'd be too happy being that close. Looks like an old fella.
