Went looking for gators at the lake today and found a couple.  I am waiting for my filters to come in so there was a little to much light, but still it is fun to watch.

That's pretty neat. I would think that's the only way to really "admire" them from a distance.

I was born and raised here, and I've reached out and touched a few gators, but this way I'm not getting wet.  I didn't mean to scare them, I had been flying around them for 20 minutes or so, without reaction.  I missed the movement of the large gator's head that she was upset.  I powered up to fast and startled them be accident.
