Ya gotta watch where ya walk!

Two gators at Ding Darling preserve on Sanibel Island, Florida. The first guy was trying to pick up some rays just a few feet off the roadway, this shot taken with my wee tiny pocket cam as I drove by, didn't get out of my car.

Good ones, Ian. I got a shot of one in Florida once right underneath a "Danger - Alligators" sign!

Thanks Al, that would be a classic!

didn't get out of your car? Big Chicken

Haha, nope, but more out of laziness plus I had the 500 + 2X mounted on the DSLR, and it was easier to just shoot with the Powershot thru the window. Really!
