Inside the Manatee Springs State Park there is a boardwalk that takes you out over the water among the cypress trees, giving a great view of the manatees that frequent the area.
these are the roots from the swamp trees and function as "snorkels" if you will for light and air |

Is it just me or does this look like a face yawning to you, too? |
Long Live the Queen of Manatee Springs

ReplyDeleteWhat great pictures! I love cypress trees, they seem so magical.
ReplyDeleteShouldn't your profile picture be Gracie, since she is a Queen? George is a King, right?? Just sayin'.
That close up photo of the "root snorkels" is just fabulous!! I love all the photos, especially the manatees. I've never seen one in person, only pictures. I have to agree, that tree is definitely yawning. What a wonderful photo! I surely hope that one of these days you are going to write a book and put all these wonderful photos in it along with your fabulous stories. Hmmmmm? I'm getting ready to pack up and go home soon. (I'm at work) You have a wonderful day, hugs, Edna B.
