Soos, me, and Vicki at our mini gtg.
Image

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

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

There she goes...
Image

I didn’t even try to keep up.
Image

What did we see?
Cormorants
Image

Turtles
Image

Anhingas, turtles, and Moorhen
Image

White Ibis
Image

More turtles!
Image

Gators!
Image

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

Immature Little Blue Heron
Image

The beautiful clear water.
Image

Did I mention turtles?
Image

The Glass-bottom boats
Image

Tri-colored Heron
Image

The headwaters of the Silver River
Image

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

Soos passing the old replica of Fort King
Image

The Asters are blooming and butterflies are attracted.
Image

Green Heron
Image

The river
Image

Peek-a-boo
Image

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

Do you see what they see?
Image

Another Green Heron!
Image

Soos in the kayoo.
Image

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

It was another great day on the river.

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.
