Long Tall Sally In Sun Set

Being new to Louisiana and the unique wildlife it has, I went on an "Annie Miller" swamp tour. The highlight of the tour were the alligators. Having a new, my first, digital camera, taking pictures of wildlife was a challenge. When the tour guide, Annie's son, put some chicken on a pole the alligators came to attention. Long Tall Sally was the largest male at 12'6" to jump for chicken. Being less than 20 feet from such a large creature was quite an experience.
