p.1 #1 · Big mamma and 14 babies


Visited a park in Sugarland Texas and found a momma with her pod. Never saw so many babies together. Mamma was very attentive. Taken with my Nikon D500 and the Nikon 200-500mm f5.6. Spotted the snake also. Some wanted larger file so I changed them.

Most of the other babies






working it way to the other side






Almost there






Mad it to the other side

Very nice set Greg. The little ones are a joy to see. You might want to post a bit larger images

everybody posts tiny images on this site like they're trying to hide details.

Well, we are trying to hide details. That gives less to pick apart by those who have nothing good to say.

I'm not trying to hide anything When I reduced the size it just came to the small size. I tried to size it larger but don't know if it worked.

You bet it isn't. I was on a board walk taking the photos. The snake had just eaten a frog and I missed that. I was too late.

I was on a boardwalk and the alligators were about 30 ft away.

Oh my god, the amount of tiny alligators here is both adorable and slightly terrifying at the same time. I love how they all look like they’re having a serious little meeting by the water. Nature is so fascinating! This feels like one of those moments most people would rarely witness in person. Such an amazing find and capture!

It really suprized me to catch them and the mother. I almost missed them even though I was looking right at them. Same with the mother. At first she barely had her head out of the water and there was a lot of mud on it. I finally used the 200 to 500mm lens to check it out. I thought it was an old log. Good reason not to go swimming or get close to the water where alligators live.
