Another shot from the Alligator Farm in St. Augustine.
A very belated CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE MAY WINNERS...my forced absence has been due to horrendous computer problems, plus I lost internet service for about a week (a squirrel chewed through our cable and it was all corroded). I was not able to download photos at all and it took me over 2 hours to upload my last image. Will catch up with you all in due time!

Exif: F Number: 6.3, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/3200 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 400, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 500.00 mm, Model: NIKON D700
