When I first approached the pond I thought the alligator I had seen there some months ago may have been either long gone or hiding somewhere along the edge in the tall weeds. Well to my surprise the later was true. As I walked to the far right side of the pond I was shocked by a very loud splash into the water. This was not like the mini-splashes you hear when a bull frog or a turtle jumps into the water but more likened to a full grown man doing a belly flop carelessly into a kiddie pool.
Once I was able to compose myself I begin to wait for him to surface and he did, on the other side of the pond. I was limited to my larger lens which struggled to capture good shots but some came out ok. I would estimate the gator to be around 8 feet or so in length. He was much larger than he was months ago for sure.
