Alligators n turtles, South Carolina

It has been a little cool so first couple days we didn't see these guys. But it is now getting warmer every day and sun is shinning. The bigger alligators were in Port Royal on a nature trail there. And the little guy,one of 2 was up the street from where we are staying on Fripp Island. Mom is around someplace nearby we are told. So are watching out for her. But these guys were ever so cute. Then while watching a colony of assorted egrets n herons ,this turtle showed up. Yellow bellied sliders. Nature to South Carolina. Not one but  2. Didn't even see the second one until I looked at my photos. Every day so far has given us more species and has been amazing.
