The boardwalk through the swamp.

My brother and part of his family came out this weekend to visit. Decided we would go the the Corkscrew Sanctuary (click here for its website). I’ve been there a few times and it’s always interesting. I’ve gone in the winter time before. That’s our dry season. I was looking forward to seeing it during the wet season. Quite a difference. Areas that were dry or just damp before were now submerged. When you go there you walk along a raised boardwalk that’s a couple miles long and you see the variety of environments that exist in the swamp as well as unusual animals and plants. This is a trip well worth taking when you come here to visit. Click on the thumbnails to see larger versions of them.

Different environments in different areas.

Don't pet the gators!
