Too Close for Comfort

Everglades, FL, United States - Southwest States
On this beautiful evening when we arrived at the Pineglade Lakes, we found this 3.5 feet crocodile resting at the edge of the lake. I knelled down no more then 4 feet from him and took this photo. Like any good model he stood perfectly still while the sky overhead put on a show if its own.
