Finished the little one, 4 x 2 1/2 inches, with a iridescent shell center. Working now on one with a limpet shell center and am working on adding the glass beads now.
Sunset tonight from camp.
We boated Juniper Springs creek today. It is a 7 mile narrow, twisting waterway set under the dense canopy of old growth forest and lush tropical vegetation through a wilderness area. The brochure says 'This canoe trip is NOT for beginners'. You have to be alert the whole time for submerged logs that can flip you and overhanging branches. Lots of rules, no disposable containers, no pets, no alcohol, no swimming and no wading. The pool and campground were built by the CCC at the head of the springs. That is the only part you can swim in. John putting in.
The first 2 1/2 miles are narrow and winding with the channel scarcely wider than 6 feet.
Twisted palm trees and John ahead of me. The water is crystal clear and shallow here.
John taking a photo. Large cypress trees.
John took this of me behind him and this is John with overhanging branches.
Overhanging palms. I survived Juniper run on a t-shirt in the gift shop. We did not see any alligators, but there are there. We did see this big rat snake, it took off, swam to the other side and hid. Waterside fern. Above us were some maple trees with red seeds. When the wind blew they blew off and spiraled down on us, an iris and a turtle, we saw tons of turtles.
Stand of iris. Farther down the run it widened out with more big trees.
Me still behind John. John in a wide section with the red maple seeds above him.
Near the end was this rapid.
