Gators Galore | Gator Too Close

Gators Galore | Gator Too Close   Meet the American Alligator up close and personal; eye to eye.  Oh, sure, I was close, but not too close.  The 70-300mm set at 70mm is still 189mm after the Nikon 1 V1 crop factor.  This guy seems middle aged.  American Alligators are black; all black.  Although they generally move rather slowly, they can really move fast.  Keep a safe distance.  For the whole story with all images, see Gators Galore | a 7 Image Story.
