Just Another Beautiful Day In The Swamp
A while back we saw this baby alligator (we refer to any alligator four feet or under as a “baby”) enjoying some morning sun at the edge of the marsh. I really liked the expression on his face, as if he didn’t have a care in the world. And in many ways that’s true…his biggest concern for the day will likely be getting enough nap time in the sun!
