Getting Closer
If I had been even this close to this monster, I would've been nervous! This was by far the largest alligator that I've seen yet. If I had to guess, I'd say it was close to 12 feet long. It was also the fattest and oldest looking one I saw.
At first, I thought this was a downed palm tree, because the color and shape of the scales looked so much like a palm, and I wondered if I was wasting my time taking pics of a log! I was pleased to discover that it really was a gator after I got home and cropped the shot!
