While in Florida I was on a walk when I saw a gator in the canal that runs along the walking/bike path.On the other side is a main highway. You wouldn't really expect to see one but there it was. I had to get a picture of it and get as close as I could without getting eaten. Yes, I am a little daring sometimes. I only had my cell phone to take a picture so the quality isn't very good and the clouds were reflecting on the water. He was probably 6 feet and stared at me with those menacing eyes the whole time. As I got closer to it he got closer to me.
