Looking for some grub, or a hand.
D200 / 70mm
We had stopped at a rest area between Naples and Fort Lauderdale, swamp area. I walked over to an open area of water and found this little guy looking for grub....or your hand.
The colors in the water from all the natural chemicals in the water off set his, or her, body.

Little guy? About how little? 6 ft. long little or 6" or so little?

That would be a startling sight to see in the wild, but I guess after a while one gets used to it.

Crickee! What a beauty!! Good on ya, Dolph!
From the lack of coloring on the body, especially the tail - this one looks like an adult.
2 weeks ago, we visited friends in Sarasota FL - they live in a ritzy development built around a golf course, and there are ponds all around that provide habitat for gators. I was "complaining" all weekend about not seeing a single gator, when on the way out of the development to go to the airport, my friend stopped to let a 4-foot "teenager" pass. What a thrill!
