A Photoblog post of my random travels.
"I travel because life is short." unknown
I have some more Florida state parks to share, hubby and I enjoyed hiking on many of the trails in the Florida parks. The greenery and vegetation is beautiful and we almost always saw some kind of wildlife.
These are images from a park called the Black Bear Wilderness Area, located in Sanford Florida. With it's name, it obvious known for seeing black bears. We did not see the bears but I did manage to see more Florida birds and gators. On this day we hiked 4.8 miles.
Some of this trail was boardwalk and some a dirt trail.
I am not sure if this is the Palmetto palm. It seems common in most of the Florida parks.

Are there any Florida parks that do not have resident gators? I do not think so.

The trail led to a view of the St.Johns River.
I am sharing some of my random travel photos, this is not only for my followers but more of a reminder for me and my hubby of where we have been and what we have seen over the years. All good memories for us, I hope you enjoy too.

DeleteGators, gators EVERYWHERE!!!
ReplyDeleteWe used to see a lot in central Florida. So far, I've only seen one here in Jacksonville, but I saw him in a canal right by the river so they MUST be in the river too. I'm keeping my eyes open. LOL
Hello Dee, yes I would keep my eyes open looking for the gators. Thanks for your comment. Happy Monday, enjoy your day and new week!
