This is what I saw when I looked behind.
Best viewed large.
He casually walked down the road to the larger marsh. Most likely I passed right by him. I haven’t been out here in a while, I must be rusty.
Specs; OM-1 (1), OM 12-100, in camera monochrome jpg, Lightroom.
Scary thought, Ted! Imagine if you had spotted a bird somewhere and stopped to take a closer look. I doubt that alligator would have sat down beside you or wondered what you were looking at! 😅 Brrr… best not to think about it. Makes you realise that some places are probably best explored with a companion. Stay safe out there!
😁😁, I’m positive he was down in the brush waiting for me to walk on 😂😂. They do that all the time.
I really like this shot, it shows what it’s really like out there. First time out in a while. I’m a little rusty, if I’d been paying attention it might have been an even more interesting shot lol.
😂
He must have done that on purpose!
Absolutely. They do it all the time. Gator trails are all along this dike, one on each side. It’s like a highway to cross. They just look out and wait until nothing is near. If I had been paying more attention I would have spotted him lol.
