Visited the Silver Springs state park!

Hi! We went to Florida and visited the Silver Springs state park. I thought some people may think it was fun to see the photos I took while kayaking. The pics aren’t great, I had a water proof pouch over my phone and a kayak paddle in one hand.

Congratulations to the team who aquascaped that.
I bet it's a nightmare doing weekly water changes.
Florida isn't all Disney then, or Ron de Santis

Very nice. I like your were able to get pretty close to the Anhinga (I believe that what it was, but only the back can be seen), or was is a Cormorant? (does not seem so).

"I bet it's a nightmare doing weekly water changes." - Actually pretty easy. Automated, all by themselves, and daily.

We live about an hour away from there - last "winter" we counted over 250 Manatee there and you would not believe the size of the Plecostomus! The biggest ones were over 2 feet long!

Reminds me when my "Spring Trips" as an adult were to drive down the western coast of Florida and spot / swim with manatees.

In Feb / Mar it was too cold to swim in the Gulf, but great for seeing masses of manatees up river!

It was really nice! We did see some fish. Tons of gators, a big manatee, my sisters saw some Florida Gar. There were some large, blue fish…
