The alligators really are scary, and they are often so hard to spot. Two of my pictures showed alligators that I didn't see when I took the photos. I'll share this one b/c I remember taking it off of this little pier. This woman and her two kids were walking out on the pier with their fishing poles. Her son asked if there were alligators at that lake and she promptly said no. It was the second time that I'd heard a parent tell a kid that there were no alligators but I didn't say anything. When I got back and realized that this alligator was right off the pier, it totally made me laugh. You can only see part of him behind the duck that is landing. If I'd seen him, I would have made sure that he was in the photo too.
