Love it, especially the end. I was sure thinking about sitting there soaking my feet.

Carol, great photos. I can imagine being along a river with relatively flat topography, its takes a bit longer for flood water to recited. Even with the unfortunate flooding, the area within almost walking distance from your home, are exceptionally beautiful. I love your alligator shot. The best I can come up with is a turtle or possible a frog.

Great pics. Thank you for sharing.
Gary


Thank you, Gary. We do have a lot of pretty parks in the area. The one right out the street, Blue Spring, is still closed and our little neighborhood park is also closed. One by one, they get them cleaned up and opened. That gator was just as small one. I liked the you can see his feet so well. The have long claws.

The water is brown with tannins and is therapeutic. That little gator might take a bite but wouldn't likely be life threatening. I think he was about 4' long. Of course his relatives are lurking somewhere close by!

Thank you, Bob. It is a natural thing and there is probably good that comes out of it!

I drive thru Fl frequently, scenes like that are just too common. My boss's family live in St Johns, I make frequent deliveries (drive a semi) mostly around the SE US. Worse as you get furthur south, South Texas area around Aransas and Rockport are also in bad shape.

Nice pics,tho. I've seen quite a few of Mr A's friends in different places... everywhere from Aransas NWR in Tx to a flower warehouse in So. Carolina.

Sounds like you get a chance to see what is going on first hand. I'm glad you enjoyed these.

Long Island is no stranger to flooding.... and even though these are shots we don't really want to see, you captured them well, Carol, but that gator is a bit scary to bump into!!

Thank you, Angela. It seems flooding is becoming more common in many areas. The little gator was just floating around, not moving a muscle that a could see. He was probably hoping a fish would swim within range!

Irma has been gone for well over a month now but the after effects linger. Many areas of central Florida are still experiencing flooding and many parks and recreational areas are still closed.

The first shots are of High Banks Marina on the St. John's River in DeBary. The pink bench normally sits several feet above water level on a wide earthen wall that separates the marina (on the far right) from the river. Most of the green in the area now is floating duckweed and water hyacinths. The trees on the far side of the river were stripped of most of their leaves by Irma. The water is starting to recede and has already gone down a couple of inches.

The second group of shots are from Gemini Springs Park in Debary.

I knew you'd be surprised, Jim! It has continued to rain over on the coast, particularly where the St. John's starts so it is very slow to go down. Riverwalk in Sanford is also seriously flooded.

Very informative set, Carol and hopefully the above conditions will return to normal soon and the healing will begin! These storms really reminds us of how rapidly our world can change. Take care!
