This little guy was just minding his own business when a friend spotted a movement in the water. We both jumped out of the car with our cameras to capture him. His image, that is. He didn't seem to mind and I did use my zoom for the photos. I know not to mess with alligators.
I drove over to the east coast on Friday to meet my friend and we drove up to a nature preserve in Titusville. There is usually a great variety of birds to see but since it's still very hot and it was near midday there were only some egrets and a comorant. We did spot a fancy spider and this little guy so we plan to go back when the weather cools and try to get there earlier. I'll post the birds and the spider in the next few days.
