Hubby and I managed to visit a lot of Florida's state parks, on this day we went to Blue Spring State Park. This park is  known for manatee sightings from November to March. We saw a few manatees, enjoyed the clear water and some cormorants and turtles sunning themselves with a few turtles. 

The water is so clear you can see the fishing swimming around.

Not sure what this fish is but it was big. Edit: per Dee these fish are called Gar, or Alligator Gar.

These are some scenes from our stay in Anacortes, Washington. We hiked on the Tommy Thompson Trail,  the trail at Cap Sante Park and Rotary Park which had pretty views of the marina and Fidalgo Bay and Washington Park.

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.
