Me and some friends arrived in Myrtle Beach yesterday for vacation. We're staying at his parent's place and they live on a Golf Course. We stopped at the club house on the way to their place and this was just chillin' in the middle of the pond. He swam right up to up. We went back and fed him later in the evening

Probably not a good idea to feed them. Judging by the angle of those shots of his head, looks like you were pretty darn close! Be careful. They look slow, but they can move pretty quick when they want to.

I used to live in SC on the coast, and they were all over the place: on golf courses and even once in a while around my apartments. A friend of mine was fishing once and when he reeled in a fish, a gator was following it! It chased him down until he took the fish off the line and tossed it at the gator, which took the *bait* and left him alone.

70-300mm lens and we were on a deck that was about 4 feet at the base above the water.

The gator wasn't that close. He's small too. A lot smaller than he looks.

were you near something purple or is that reflection just freaky lens refraction?

It's from the lens. It's a crappy Quantaray, but I didn't have any other long lenses to work with.
