February is the best time to visit Rainbow Springs.
The weather is gorgeous in February and the Azaleas are in full bloom.
We were surprised to see many of the Camelias were still blooming too!
We walked and walked.
And I kept taking photos of the view of the Springs.
(and YES, there were several people swimming)
Hubby took most of the flower close ups with his little Nikon P300.
A wonderful hike!
Hey..WAIT FOR ME!!!
It’s breathtaking, don’t you think?
I’m joining Mosaic Monday HERE.

It looks magical! So beautiful!
Breathtaking indeed, the colours are beautiful. Enjoy the warm weather while it lasts :)
How do you stand all that beauty Diane?? I thought of you the other morning at our Country place. Mr Blue Heron visited the pond. I tried to get my camera but by the time I was ready for the shot he had flown off!!
Diane, You do have some beautiful places to hike. Love all the flowers. The pictures of water with flowers on the banks is gorgeous. Blessings for a fun filled new week. xoxo, Susie
Just gorgeous! There's something about the colours of the azaleas and the sheen of the water that gives your photos that old-time technicolour look!
Rainbow Springs is breathtaking! What a grand place to walk and enjoy nature. Happy Monday!
Looks like a paradise to me! Gorgeous.
Diane, these photos are knocking my socks off! I'm so eager for garden walks -- thanks for filling that need for me till we have them here!
I've been to Florida and went out in a 14 foot motor boat in Lake Okeechobee, there were alligators almost as big as our boat. When I see those kayaker out there I think . . . where are your brains. Honestly would you do that?
My, what a beautiful place! I wish I could jump into your photos and enjoy some time among the flowers :)
Happy Monday, dear friend. Hugs!
Beautiful flowers, the mosaic is gorgeous. I often get left behind when we're out walking too, I always want to stop and take another photo!
Happy MM.
Very beautiful photos!
Just beautiful, we are not to far behind, spring is
coming here fast.
What a wonderful place to walk. I love azaleas! I just wish their beauty lasted longer but they are such a welcome springtime sight to see! Your husband's flower photos make a beautiful mosaic, Diane.
Wow! It is breathtaking. What a lovely place to walk. Your azaleas are way ahead of ours here. So lovely to see these pretty colors blooming in your neck of the woods! Happy mosaic Monday!
Just a wonderful place to visit.
WOW amazing pictures. We don´t have any flowers yet.
I follow you. Maybe you want to follow me ;)

azaleas
. . . the reason I can't breathe
Wow, this looks wonderful! Spring is in the air here in New York today. Wonder if old man winter is gone...Aloha!
Beautiful! I would not swim in there though....
Yes, it is lovely. I would love to join you.
Wow, we're a long way from azalea blooms here in Philly-enjoy:@)
Absolutely beautiful pictures, so glad you shared these. And the others of YOUR PARKS THERE IN FLORIDA---there is so much more to your beautiful state than just the beaches and the resorts! Sure, I like the beaches, but it's the parks with the springs that keep intriguing me--I can't get over how pretty the blue/green/clear water is and also how COLD IT IS, even in the summer. Great and refreshing on a sweaty hot summer day. You have such lovely flowers and plants and trees/birds there as well, I'm sure GLAD YOU TAKE PICTURES of them so we can enjoy them. I just love Florida! Well, we just finished up the Wildlife Expo yesterday night and whew!---I am still wiped out! LOL I have about a thousand pictures to still sort out and am trying to get posts up. Meeting Jeff Corwin was so neat! Our daughter literally grew up loving him and watching him....and Saturday was a DREAM COME TRUE for her, we surprised her and I still can't beleive we pulled it off, LOL! The look on her face was priceless.
You find such wonderful places to go. The flowers are gorgeous and it sounds like a great place to walk.
Rainbow Springs! What a perfect description! The water is such a gorgeous blue! I wouldn't mind a swim there myself. :-)
It is so beautiful...how can it be real? A paradise for sure...
Hello, I really enjoyed my walk via your camera in another beautiful park... Hugs, Roxy
Oh yes, it is breathtaking.
Luv your floral mosaic
Much love...
It's truly beautiful, Diane. Such gorgeous flowers, and the water is a wonderful colour. A great place for you to walk. Thanks for taking us along via your and your husband's cameras.
Absolutely beautiful!
It is another lovely place. Thanks for taking us along. Walking with you is the only way I am going to see the parks. That and I do a lot of traveling on Google Maps. ;)

What a simply wonderful place to enjoy a hike.
The Azaleas look gorgeous, as do all your pictures.

Rainbow Springs and the pictures you took are just lovely. It is a damp, cloudy day here in the northeast and these views were perfect!
Looks like an amazing place to visit Diane, thanks for sharing all these beautiful scenes.😂
Rainbow Springs is beautiful, Diane. Looks like something out of a magazine. The aqua water is so pretty. And the pink Azaleas make it even more special. : )
