This alligator was lurking under the kayak launch. On the pier about 20 feet out were several wide steps that led to the water easy for two people to carry a kayak down and set off on it. Under the steps was the 7 or 8 foot gator just there. Not moving but watching eyes wide open. I shot this photo in the rather dark space by shooting between the fourth and fifth steps. He did not move and I appreciate that!.
