S Frazer, thank you for the welcome and the information on wild lettuce!
Thanks, Dunia! Glad you like it! They're kinda cute when they're so little. Matheus, just an FYI, this is an alligator, not a crocodile. :)
I love seein' this little guys! Great shot :)
Nice croc
Welcome to Project Noah!
Nice shot. The plant, adding even more stealth capability to alligators and other crocodilians, is Pistia stratiotes which was introduced into Florida, before 1765. http://plants.ifas.ufl.edu/node/328
