Gator babelets! These are from October on the Texas Coast. I really, really like baby alligators. I don’t get to see them enough. These were fairly difficult photos to get because the cute guys were hiding in the reeds and grass. It was a fairly sketchy operation that involved almost falling in the water and getting struck at by a water moccasin. While squatting in the grass with my lens, a fatty cottonmouth came out of the grass and struck at me. I got really (REALLY) lucky that a) I didn’t fall in the water and break my camera and lens and b) I didn’t get bitten. It was an exciting few moments there. Really glad the snake threw itself into the water and not the grass behind me because otherwise, I probably would have had to jump in the gross water where Mom gator was…Wheeee!
