We spent a few days at Manatee Springs State Park again this month.
That big clump of greenery in the center is poison oak!
I always see some amazing sights along the boardwalk.
And the Suwannee River is always picturesque!
I had a chance to talk to a fisherman on this particular hike and I learned something valuable!
I asked him what the fish were that we were seeing in the water....over a hundred of them!
And he told me they were Mullet. OK, I am familiar with Mullet. They love to jump high out of the water and are fun to watch. But he told me that after a boat goes through the water, stay put and watch the water. Other fish and sea life will come up to the surface. And lo and behold, it is true! And I've seen some amazing sights by taking the time to stop and watch! I even watched a Manatee come up to the surface at the Ochlockonee River a few days later.

I have a good imagination so I wanted to share some photos of things I saw on this one hike, that are not what they seem....
or are they?
Do you see a Mermaid, or the leaf at the top of the photo?
A bird in the tree?
A shark in the water?
A cute sea monster?
A turtle underwater? (it really is a turtle! lol)
Do you have a good imagination too?
