Breakfast Anyone? [Contest Finalists March 2011]
Uploaded: July 11, 2010 08:16:29
Taken in a Louisiana swamp. This was not a big gator--maybe about four feet. Because of the cold spring, I was told the big ones mostly hadn't come out of hibernation yet. At least, I didn't see any of the monster size ones. That's duckweed hanging from his mouth and is what gives the water surface the green color.

Wow! What a fantastic close up capture, Mitch. #8749365Marty Straub July 12, 2010
Excellent capture of the textures and teeth, Mitch. He looks like he's growing right out of the log, and the duckweed has also become part of HIS color. Great photo, and four feet is big enough. #8751065
