Lookin' at Lunch Yes, he's looking at you. If you're not careful you could be lunch. We have a small 4 acre lake behind our house that attracts gators. They seem to come and go. Sometimes there are 2 or 3 large ones that stay around for a couple weeks. Sometimes one or two smaller gators join them for a while. Then they all might disappear for a couple weeks and others show up. Fortunately they are always very shy. Regardless of size they will abruptly swim away of you get too close making it hard to get a good photo. This guy wasn't that shy and I got a good shot as the rain started.
