Gator Gulp and Gone

Description:

This gator that was floating just off the trail near the sink, and while I was fiddling with the camera and adjusting the tripod, it submerged, and then came up in a hurry. Whatever it had come across underwater was swallowed in an instant. I've stared at the blurry shots of the orange blob it came up with, at different angles, but never did solve the mystery of what it was.
