I have a different camera for shots like this. The lens is called a scope. lol. Great contrast of greens with the alligator Ed. I wouldn't even go walking there, let alone swimming.

As much as I love water ... I would chose not to go swimming there also. Excellent clarity & detail. Good eye for spotting this this young gator too. Wonderful capture Ed.

Best wide-angle lens? Two steps backward. Look for the 'ah-ha'. Ernest Haas

Ordinarily I would think a five foot gator was anything but small, but I once saw a 12-footer shuffle its way through a parking lot in south Florida... I'm glad you spotted this one instead of the other way around, lol! Good eye!

Ed, this is a keen shot. I would not go near the water. I remember some years ago down In Port Charlotte there was a stadium with a pond and a good size one could be seen along the edge of the pond soaking in the sun. That is close enough for me andI was in the car. :) . sandi♥

Can't say that I blame you for not going into the river. The only gators I care to meet are in a drink called Gatorade. He seems difficult to see. I guess you are alert to their existence and whereabouts because you live there. Thanks for the shot, Ed.
