I wonder sometimes if I'm viewed as a plump, tasty treat ...... hmmm.

Quite certain that's exactly what he's thinking!

Great view, Kirk. This might be my favorite gator pic from you.

Nice catch, now get out of the water before you are caught... Nice shot!

Thank you, Dean. They can be very hard to shoot with their long bodies but this one was facing me just right.

Thanks, Jeff. I was thinking of putting my GoPro on a RC boat and get some real close-ups but I fear one may destroy them both.

He's probably singing to himself,

Lollipop lollipop
Oh lolli lolli lolli, lollipop, lollipop
Oh lolli lolli lolli, lollipop, lollipop
Oh lolli lolli lolli, lollipop

That’s about the time I pack up my gear.

Beautiful shot!

Thanks, Mitch, but no worries. He was a safe 15 meters out and just resting. Yeah, he looks mean but he's a real sweety.

We’re you lying on your belly when you took that? I bet he could get to you before you could get up!

No, I was one one knee which gets me pretty low and I use a big 600mm lens so it was actually pretty far away, right about 15 meters away, the lens pulled it in close. I did crop as well so that makes it look even closer. This is kind of funny to me, everyone thinks I'm in danger whenever I post pics of gators.

No, we know you are smarter than that. The pics are good and it’s just fun to tease you.

lol! You got me! Sometimes it's hard to tell when someone is joking or not online, you look for something in the wording that gives it away and there's no twinkly eye or grin to let you know they're joking but I should've known better.
