yes....I KNOW this is NOT artistically great. The bird is over-exposed....but I mentioned in my last egret shot that a gator was just underneath the bird...and thought I'd show this shot to give you an idea of "behind the scenes" with me. The alligator was approx a 9 footer. I focused first on the bird and took some shots...and then walked closer { slowly} and DO have a better shot of my gator before it chickened out and scooted into the lake....{ knowing I have PMS}...:)

I would be doing a 'gork' sound too if I was that close :)
I think this is an amazing picture you have captured. The egret AND the . . . .other thing . . . and the foliage is really superb.
Splendid work Terri :)

Glad you didn't step on him Terri ;) I think it's interesting how the bird is directly above the gator and you've captured them together very well. Thanks for this one.

Have a happy day ;) Anita
Thanks for giving us the background shot on this one - I'm continually amazed that you are ever anywhere in the vicinity of a gator!

Good photo with great interplay here Terri. Those Egrets must be quite large. That bird doesn't look all that much smaller than the 9ft gator.

Just an old "Grampa" who still has a Kodak "Box" camera kicking around the attic ... learning and enjoying the wonders of modern digital photography.
A new pair of shoes right there and you let him get away......Terri how could you?? LOL Very nice job my dear.

Well...it's not artistically great...oh, wait...you said that, not me.
I luv the over feel on the take T!! It is a wee bright or washed out, but, still having the gator and the birdy in the same frame really adds a kick-arse kinda value to the capture!!
"Groks" back at'cha!!

Picture Purrrfect .
Some people are like slinky's, completely useless but still a lot of fun when you push them down the stairs. 8~O
How often do we get to see a bird and a gator in the same shot?. I think it looks wonderful Terri- you're certainly braver than I would be!

Terrific shot, Terri! Something unpleasant was probably averted this day!

This is great. You always have the best nature shots Terri! Hmmm I am thinking the latter thought - he was in cahoots with the gator! LOL

I'm glad I don't have those sorts of hazards to contend with when I'm out snapping [unlike the gator - ha ha groan;o)]. Thanks for the background history. Never having visited the glades [or the US] it's great to get the 'bigger picture'
Cheers,
Steve.

This mail is a natural product. The slight variation in spelling and grammar enhance its individual character and beauty and in no way are tobe considered flaws or defects.
Good shot Terri...Hope everybody appreciates your danger in getting this shot, but your commentary brought laugh to me...gerry.

One man sees things and says "why?" - but I dream things that never were and I say "why not?"
*ON SECOND THOUGHT*
that dang bird was probably telling that gator: "here comes MadMaven...."eat her!"
