Rock Springs Run


 Two Mondays ago, it was deer in the parking lot at Wekiwa Springs State Park.  This week, turkeys.

On the Wekiva River at 8:01.



Down the Wekiva


Blue heron

Anhinga

Up Rock Springs Run


This tree had blocked the main channel for a couple months.  Removed in time for the holiday crowds. Which is too bad, as I knew how to get around it. 

Ibis
Woodstork





Crazy eight, or Florida snowman?











Big Buck Campsite. My turn back point.  Saw a doe on the way up Rock Springs Run













Saw a hog, and heard more, on the way downstream





No gators on an overcast morning.









Great egret







Worker from the State Park towing a kayak back from Wekiva Island.  As usual, a Wekiva Island kayak was at Wekiwa Springs State Park when I arrived.  I said to her, "Beats driving a car to get it"  "I'm getting paid!"




Landed at 11:18
A quiet enough late morning that a great blue heron was on the edge of the spring before I got in.
