It is time to look at the 'Inner-Florida'.
Not to be confused with Florida' many sinkholes - Ravine Gardens State Park in Palatka, FL, is a large ravine that was undercut by underground springs. The springs are visible once you hike up a trail.
It's a ravine, so you can take a driving tour completely around the edge, or park and walk down into and through the ravine. Once you hike down into the ravine, there is a very cold spring. The spring empties into a pond, which has a 'Beware of the alligators' sign. The only wildlife I saw were small fish, frogs, turtles and squirrels, but I did hear the alligator babies making a barking sound as I walked over an all wooden, swinging bridge, so I don't doubt that they are there.
Ravine Gardens State Park is a treasure of history and nature, a quiet place to walk, rest or just soak up some of your most beautiful surrounding.

Now, if we could just move the foliage from Florida to Arizona and leave the humidity there that would be perfect for me. :-) Though there are a lot of really green places in Arizona. Most people seem to think it is all desert, but we have the largest Ponderosa pine forest in the world. Love this shot. Beautiful, thanks for submitting your work. It is one of my - FAVORITES - of the day. Featured it in the ARTIST NEWS group, today..
