Noted for its showy spring flowers, Cercis canadensis (Eastern Redbud) is a deciduous, often multi-trunked tree with a graceful, rounded crown and horizontally tiered branches. Masses of pea-like rosy-pink flowers held in clusters cover the bare branches in the spring, before the foliage emerges, creating a most dramatic display.

Cattail, (genus Typha), genus of about 30 species of tall reedy marsh plants (family Typhaceae), found mainly in temperate and cold regions of the Northern and Southern hemispheres. The plants inhabit fresh to slightly brackish waters and are considered aquatic or semi-aquatic.

some of the original "Sea Hunt" episodes were filmed here along with Tarzan movies. Manitees, fish, aligators, and more abound in this natural spring.

A wonderful place to visit, and similar to the whirligigs in Wilson, NC, unique in the world. Come join us in our adventure...

UPDATE! This photo was chosen for Flickr Explore! I am always thrilled with being so honored and believe me the thrill never gets old.

HOWEVER .... I have no idea why this photo was chosen. I don't think it is very good. The right quarter of the shot is wasted with the boat structure, the top of the cypress tree is cut off, the forest coloring is poor (even though it is winter). I put it up to be a part of my story of our trip - nothing more.
