These pictures were taken on Juniper Springs / Juniper Creek and on the Oklawaha
River between Highway 40 and Gore's Landing. Saturday's paddle on Juniper featured a cast of thousands and not so much
wildlife, but gorgeous weather. Sunday's trip on the Oklawaha was a cozy five person run on a very secluded section
of river with an abundance of wildlife and cool, cloudy weather. The numerous blow-downs from the 2004 huricane season
has cut back the power boat traffic on the Oklawaha dramatically.

Clear, warm spring water and a white sandy bottom characterize
this spring-fed run.

The heavy traffic on Juniper makes wildlife sightings
more difficult than on some other less traveled Florida streams.
