Living in Florida, and
as a naturalist and photographer, I see a lot of alligators. I photograph a lot
of alligators too. Visitors to the state, and even locals, always want to see
an alligator when hiking or taking photographs with us.
One morning recently
while walking near a lake I saw what appeared to be a small alligator. He
floated half underwater, the eye, nose tip, and body above water mirrored
perfectly in the still, glassy water except for one small part near the eye on
which a piece of grass perched. I took several shots, varying the zoom.
I chose this one as
the best. I love the reflection in the water, the small catch light in his eye
from the sun, and the serenity of the scene, even though serenity is not the
first thing that springs to mind when one hears the word “alligator”.
