Happy Gator

Taken in the swamps of Louisiana.
This gator was baskin in the sun on a log in a canal. The sun was getting ready to set and when I got to the canal I started taking photos. After a few shots I checked my camera to see if any adjustments needed to be made. There was no memory card in my camera. I found a very small one in the car. I took 6 photos, this was the 4th one. After checking my camera again this card was full and this was the last photo taken.
Shortly after he slipped in to the water.
