The view from our site (C-28) here in Eastbank Campground was pretty nice.  Lake Seminole seems to be a gathering place on the migration route for coots (or maybe it is the endpoint).  I believe there were thousands feeding on the shallow plants.



The most interesting thing we noticed about the coots was that while they liked being a part of this giant flock they each wanted their own space.  The only time we saw coots within a foot of each other was when one was trying to poach another's meal.


We walked into Florida - the state line was about a half mile away along the top of the dam.


Amid the thicker growth along the shoreline, we heard several large splashes before we finally saw one of the large turtles sunning himself on some driftwood.


The brilliant red foliage of this Japanese Maple was perfectly accented with the Spanish Moss draped in its branches.
