Blue Spring, Snake Creek Loop

Valentines    

On the St. Johns River at 8:30.

Failing to get decent manatee pics at the entrance to Blue Springs Run

 Can't paddle into the Run.  Its manatee season

Up the St Johns

 Shy tri colored heron, below

 Entering Snake Creek

 Into the Hontoon Dead River

 Canal to the St. Johns River

St Johns River

Back at Blue Spring Run

 Landed just before one

Checking out cormorants from the boardwalk

And, manatees.
