This illustrated counting rhyme (for Florida children) is shared with CAMERA CRITTERS.*
One, two, three. How many baby alligators do you see?
They're kind of cute when they're little, but:

Wow. They are SO awesome and scary at the same time. Beautiful shots.

I've seen them on a golf course. That was one golf ball I lost.. LOL

Those babies look so gigantic!

I agree with you. They are cute when they are little, but then...
Regards and best wishes

A place I would gladly visit. I have seen more crocs than alligators in my travels but I find them all such fascinating creatures.

Beautiful and Frightening ! By comparison the poor little lezard I shoted and posted this morning looks like quite ridiculous....

Yes they are cute when they are tiny, but as they get bigger not so sure, pretty amazing creatures though.

Oooo...scary critters. Love your photos!!!
Posted by: Jean | February 25, 2012 at 06:58 PM
Great shots. I think I have spotted six of them.
Posted by: Rajesh | February 25, 2012 at 06:34 PM
These are fantastic shots and a fun way for children to learn to count, as long as they don't actually wade in with the alligators.
Posted by: Carver | February 25, 2012 at 05:43 PM
They have winning smiles, that's for sure!

anything that well camouflaged scares me no matter how cute when young!

I like alligators, I think they're prehistoric looking and that fascinates me
the babies are adorable

Hi Sallie, they might be cute when they are little. But, they do change when they are BIG. I hope they do not crawl up on the boardwalk. Great captures. Have a wonderful weekend!
Posted by: eileen | February 25, 2012 at 04:24 PM
I see at least one or two or three too many!
Nice captures.

I think all babies are cute, even alligators. :)
Posted by: Halcyon | February 25, 2012 at 03:07 PM
Ouch! Don't get too close, Sallie!
Posted by: Barb | February 25, 2012 at 02:00 PM
Great pictures, Sallie. Glad you stayed safely out fo the way and zoomed in with your camera instead!
Posted by: Nick | February 25, 2012 at 01:27 PM
They are adorable when little...when grown...not so much!
Posted by: Krystal | February 25, 2012 at 12:36 PM
Still looks too close for me. :)
Wonderful shots!

Nice to have a boardwalk and hope they aren't jumpers. ;)

Posted by: Sondra | February 25, 2012 at 05:38 AM

Hi there - even when I'm a safe distance away from the crocs I've seen up north, I still feel a little un-nerved!
Nice pictures.

Amazing pictures! Love those little ones, real cute and adorable. Yes and they do get scary as they grow in size! Fantastic captures for the day :)
Happy Weekend Sallie :)

Amazing photos! I've only ever seen these in a small zoo in Spain. How I look forward to your almost daily Blog!!!

During all the time I was in Oz I saw one croc. He was sunning on a sandbank . I took some photos at a safe distance sitting in a boat. Your photos are great. How far were you away from these alligators?
Posted by: Reader Wil | February 24, 2012 at 11:35 PM
Great pictures, Sallie - glad you were taking them instead of me, though.
Posted by: Penny | February 24, 2012 at 08:32 PM
Ha ha - Sallie.
Just the big ones, and that is enough for me, thank you.
Good to know that you were on safe territory - remember that old song - "Never Smile at a crocodile aka alligator" or whatever it was called!
Colin from Sunny and then rainy Brisbane. Can't make up its mind!!!!!
