Soos, me, and Vicki at our mini gtg.


But it’s not over til it’s over. Soos got her Senior Pass at the Ranger Station in the Ocala National Forest.


Tuesday and the river called again. Soos used the kayoo, and I used the little inflatable. We carted them together down the river trail.


There she goes...


I didn’t even try to keep up.


What did we see?
Cormorants


Turtles


Anhingas, turtles, and Moorhen


White Ibis


More turtles!


Gators!


Don’t panic....this is the same gator.


Immature Little Blue Heron


The beautiful clear water.


Did I mention turtles?


The Glass-bottom boats


Tri-colored Heron


The headwaters of the Silver River


The Fort King Paddling Trail....used to be The Jungle Cruise at the former attraction.


Soos passing the old replica of Fort King


The Asters are blooming and butterflies are attracted.


Green Heron


The river


Peek-a-boo


These were serious photographers... What did they see?


Do you see what they see?


Another Green Heron!


Soos in the kayoo.


We saw the monkey boat, but the monkeys took the day off.


It was another great day on the river.

I enjoyed you float down the river too, thanks.

Beautiful and Soos is right about the Silver River being one of the best paddles. Hopefully it will still be available when/if I make it back down this winter....:=) I have my hopes up.

Enjoyed the trip down the river, loved the butterfly picture, yesterday I couldn't see what the serious photographers were looking at, today I could, so I loved that too both the pic and the seeing it

Noticed there were alligators on this trip too
