Almost too close...
I thought this guy was dead...it looked like his eye-socket was just a black hole. He (?) was soooooooo still.
I quickly found out he was very much alive, as I was inching closer & leaning in to get another shot...I heard this deafening "THWACK!" as the gator slapped his tail on the water...and when I looked up from the camera (as I was scrambling up the bank in heels and a dress), thankfully, the gator was swimming away...
I haven't laughed that hard (at myself) in a very long time!
