Wekiwa Creek-”Rainbow Run, Springs-Dunnellon, Florida” 3-25-2020
Images captured from our journey to Wekiwa Creek also called “Blue Run and Rainbow Springs”, during early Spring. Nearer towards the head-spring, we observed the white sand bottom through clear water. In the wetlands, the water was darker like “tannin tea”. Throughout, trees like hickory, sweetgum, cypress, sabal palm, sawpalmetto and pine were standing tall; strong plants like swordfern, spiderwort, beautyberry, wild grape and greenbrier were observed.
New images along the Ocklawaha River flow (various locations) 3/15/2020
Images from Three Sisters Spring “Crystal River, Florida”
Scenes captured on a Journey of Appreciation to the pristine waters at Three Sisters Spring, “Crystal River, Florida”. We observed and documented the clear aqua colored water with many manatees swimming within. Various species of birds, including anhingas to crows and hawks viewing the environment from atop tall hickory and juniper trees; bees pollinating bottlebrush trees; cactus plants, plantago, and various species of American flora were also observed.
The Santa Fe River, Rise and Sink (“O’Leno State Park-High Springs, Florida“)
Suwannee River “Suwannee River State Park—Live Oak, Florida“
The Withlacoochee River and the Suwannee River intersect in Timucuan Territory “Live Oak, Florida” among the high bluffs and sandy soil. Cypress trees with a myriad of knees, and oaks grace the terrain with many species of other trees, plants and shrubs. The Suwannee river flows southwest out of “Georgia“ for more than two hundred forty miles.
The Palatlakaha River “Lake County, Florida“
Image contains various scenes from our journey to the Palatlakaha River. We observed and documented various species of trees, shrubs and plants with colorful blossoms from rich reds to, yellow. The Palatlakaha runs north for forty four miles and is fed by waters originating in the Green Swamp. Pilocklakaha is said to be of “Creek“ origin.
Blue Pond “Trail”—”Dunns Creek—Pomona Park, Florida”
Images of scenes captured while on a journey to locate small mounds, some call “middens” near Blue Pond, (Pomona Park, Florida). Our interest was peaked to experience this location because Blue Pond, due to its position over the aquifer, maintains its stable water level when other water bodies in the area suffer substantial draw downs during droughts. We observed the tranquil waters under a blue sky, while walking atop sandy soil covered with pine needles and leaves. The aroma of the pine needles was bold in the air as we noticed it before looking for the source.
The Chipola River and Blue Hole Spring “Marianna, Florida“
The Chipola River for a portion of its 92 mile run veers underground periodically, resurfaces and serves as a tributary for the Apalachicola River. It is also partially sourced by Blue Hole Spring. Americans enjoyed it for more than ten thousand years before European emigrants/colonist settled in the Aboriginal Territory, some call “Marianna, Florida“.
Cacema“Kissimmee” Lake—”Lake Wales, Florida”
View of Aquifer “Scott” Springs-Ocali (“a“), “Florida“
Images of caves and karst terrain in Timucuan Territory “West Central Florida“. We observed many fish in the spring and various species of plants and shrubs (saw palmettos, greenbriar and grasses), under tall trees (pines, oaks, etc)
Amaskohegan, Bright Moon Lake (“Lake Weir South Marion County”)
Image contains a scenic view of Amaskohegan which translated from the Seminole language means Bright Moon Lake, Ocali “Marion County“ in the Land of Flowers. The lake is more than 5600 acres and is not connected to the “Floridan” Aquifer. Indigenous ancient shell mounds were once located here, however they were unfortunately destroyed for building materials and road construction.
Water Unites
Water rests and rushes, flows and gushes within and throughout our land.
Water lifts and flies, exalted high into the sky and weeps back to the land.
Naturally present in all forms of materialness, water blankets every living being with health;
and water united unto itself prevails all encumbrances along its journey.
A relaxing journey along the Ocklawaha River located near “Silver Springs”. Unique birds like the Carrao or “Limpkin”. the “Belted King Fisher” and the “Golden Swamp Warbler” are a delight to see.
Here is a relaxing video of what we viewed during our meditations along the Atlantic Coastline.
