On our latest trip to Sawgrass, in mid September, we saw lots of juvenile alligators.

Underneath one of the bridges across the canal, an oak leaf drifted past this tiny alligator

And at the shore another alligator was basking. You can see its foot prints in the mud.

On a previous visit, we’d seen a large adult (the mother?) alligator where this little baby was.

At the overlook where this picture was taken, there were a bunch of sunfish, tilapia and turtles. Here, a small softshell turtle was trying to climb up on top of the larger red-eared slider
