Blue Springs State Park

9961
Got an early start to the weekend on Friday, April 10, 2015.
 On the boardwalk, snorkel gear in hand, 5:37
In the water at 5:42


 Blue Spring








Turtle and gar. No game fish. Or, manatees.




Unlike my visit 2 weeks ago the Run was open for swimming to the swim dock.
 On the St. Johns at 6:24

 





 
Kayaking around the island across from French Avenue
 
They were noisy until I turned the video on




 

 




 

 
 Paddling up Blue Spring Run







Gliding down






 
 
Back on the St Johns River







Landed at 7:50



 I asked for a firefly pass at the gate when I arrived.  This lets you stay after dark to watch the lightning bugs.
 They do not photograph well.
 That's a star. Maybe a planet.
 I was halfway between home, and the Atlantic Ocean.  I went east.

Well, I tried to allow Anonymous postngs. As soon as I did, I had the same problem with the same person/spammer posting comments. One jerk spoils it for all. So,you'll need to register to post a comment.
