Well, uh, lizard? :huh Too funny, you got me. I wasn't expecting that. I hope everyone is alert in your backyard if you run across these guys much. Nice pics.

You sure have bigger lizards then we do around here. I actually have to chase mine around and use macro lens :rofl
Awesome shot! I saw one of these guys today, snap a picture but he was too far away. Oh well, better safe then sorry. Did they remove it from your back yard yet?? :huh

[Zanotti]

I dont want him removed - he's my buddy!

The nice thing about alligators is that they are proportional when young. This guy isnt really that big, but with a good telephoto - he looks huge.

My guess is that he is 4 feet long, but he looks 12 feet in the photos.

Easy to get really close to the little guys.....

Terrific shots Z. :clap You're lucky, I've been hoping to see gators in the stream behind my house but none have shown uo yet.

Nice set. Your shots are showing the wild beauty of these animals. Great angle in the third shot.:thumb
