Sneaky gator
You know how movies insert dramatic music when situations get tense? Well in real life that isn't the case. There wasn't sight or sound of any critters on this trail when I was facing the opposite direction of this gator. Matter of fact I had been shooting another gator across the canal when I turned and saw this creature climbing out of the canal and on to the trail. It's a bit spooky. Fortunately I was shooting with the 500mm so there was ample space between us yet it's a reminder to stay alert when out in the bush because wild animals are just that, wild.
