Pretty Place BUT Keep Your Eyes Open 5"13

I  was walking along this Bull Island road just after sunrise  taking photos of the fresh water pond on the west of the road,  when I saw this  9 foot +  alligator submerging into the pond.  The driver of our transport vehicle was  wandering  along the edge of the pond farther  off of  the east side of the road. Alligators don't normally come out of the middle of a  pond to chase you, so I wasn't worried.
  On the ride back to the boat, the whole group spotted another monstrous  alligator crossing the road from east to west. It was moving too fast for any of us to get a photo, but when it's snout reached the west side of the road , it's tail was still hanging over the eastern bank.  It's a wonder both the driver and I didn't wind up being a breakfast snack.
