On the Wacasassa River from the boat ramp at the end of Levy County Road 326 at 7:25 AM
Up the Wacasassa
Wacassasa left, Wekiva, right.
Up the Wekiva.
I think this boat is one that has been under water for a few years. Wonder if as storm flipped it over.
Saw a deer, no picture
Levy County is bit far north for oranges. On the other hand, the best orange I ever tasted was from a tree on Seahorse Key.
Woodpecker
Back at the confluence, I now went up the Wacasassa
Tide was extremely low. I do not think I have ever seen so much of the bridge pillars exposed
I was going to paddle further up River, but as this otter was going down, I followed it,
Alligator
Nothing but pickups in the parking lot.
With one exception. The power boats all go down River, to the Gulf.
Stopped at Robinson's Seafood on the way to Cedar Key. Had to look at a Facebook post to refresh my memory as to what I bought. Grouper fillet, half a pound of shrimp, mullet dip, and gumbo.
Arrived at Park Place. My room, 330, not yet ready. I asked if I could put the seafood in the office fridg. Yes. Wheeled the kayak across the street. On the Gulf at 12:15
Oyster catcher

Same one I paddled under a week ago.
Into the Number 3 Channel
Scale Key eagle nest
Scaups
Landed at 3:50
The car in the parking space next to mine at Park Place. I went to the office to get my seafood. "We put it in your refrigerator" How very nice. One less thing to carry to the 3rd floor.
The view from the balcony of room 330. A left turn at the top of the steps, instead of the right I had made over Christmas to room 331.
I had asked what was in the gumbo. A very long list. Clams, sausage, grouper, clams, beef, shrimp..... I put in more shrimp.
Like all 3rd floor units, there is loft bedroom.
Took a stroll to Dock StreetPelicans on the Big Dock
I don't think these folks were prepared for the wind. They did make it to shore.
I decided the bridge at the marina was a better vantage point.
Not an original idea. Other photographers were on the bridge, and I have used this vantage point before.To great advantage
Moon rise
Last picture of the day. 6:04 PM. These short winter days are tough.
