A 3rd magnitude spring along the Florida Trail in St. Marks. I love the springs on cold mornings, the stillness of the surrounding hammock as steam dances across the water. St. Marks NWR, FL

I don’t see the bison of Paynes Prairie very often. I always sit and stare for an hour or so when I run into them on the trail.

Scenes from Nature Coast. 

I love the views of low tide, exposing maze of oyster bars, mud flats, and coastal hammocks. When seas were lower in the last ice age this area was tall dunes, built by prevailing winds. As sea levels rose this unique landscape was created. Change is the only constant here, the tidal creeks are always shifting and one hurricane might rearrange the whole coastline. This area frustrated early mappers who struggled to pin down where the land ended and the sea began.
