Three canoes were pushing off as I did. Got ahead of them, and a couple more, as I paddled down the Wekiva.
Birds, like this tri colored heron, are used to traffic on this busy part of the Wekiva. But, as stated above, not too busy-or as busy as it is in the summer.
Lolling in the duck weed on my left. This may be the gator Joanne B. calls "Pigpen"
On Rock Springs Run. Had to pass about 10 canoes, kayaks and paddleboards, but cleared them before the old sandbar
Eight or so paddlers came down the Run, last pair before Big Buck. The campsite, not a male deer.
Elusive belted kingfisher
I was not going to take any scenic, that is, no animals in the frame, shots, until I turned around. But, sometimes, a view begs to be savored and saved.
Turned around at 4;19
Wee gator
Two deer, here. A ways to go to match the 11 I saw Wednesday afternoon
Red shouldered hawk
The only people I saw on the way down Run were campers at the Otter site. Saw one more deer. A buck. 4 pointer.
I like how the neck is bent
Back to the Wekiva.
St. Yakdave.
Landed at 6:30.
Pause while carting the yak up the hill to take a pic of the Springs.A slow drive to Sand Lake, looking for deer. Got, out, took a short walk. Only deer, the one on the Apopka Sportsman Club monument.
