These images were taken in the same tidal inlet as my post All Stacked Up, Alligator Mother and Young.

It is probably the same family as mother Alligators are very territorial.

The tide was in and the juvenile Alligators were having some swim practice.

I didn’t see mamma, but you can be sure she wasn’t far off as the youngsters explored.

This last fellow was working on his “just floating” pose.

You bet she is nearby and watching. They are interesting creatures
They sure are, Alice, and have made it for millions of years.
Gators and sunflowers……awesome! Great series, Ellen!
Thanks, Donna, it was a nice combo!
