Marsh Rabbit Run five foot American Alligator

This Alligator was seen on the Marsh Rabbit Run trail at the Circle B Bar Reserve. I was busy capturing the first image of this blog and telling another passerby about the "little (under one foot long) Alligator I was shooting. Less than a minute later he told me that there was a bigger one on the other side of the trail. The was right about it being larger, this one was about five to six feet long. Unfortunately, it was also back lit by a fairly strong sun. The on board flash unit wasn't able to compensate enough to give a truly outstanding picture of this 'gator. I however think that it is still an interesting picture.
