What used to be a privately owned zoo is now a state-run wildlife park. The new header photo features one of six manatees that have been rescued from the wild and are now living a safe and sheltered life in the park boundary. Another one is pictured below. All of the bird photos below were taken at the park.
The springs themselves are quite nice. The main spring is called the 'fish bowl'. It is so large that they built a giant underwater observatory right in the middle of it.

Anhingas
Flamingos

We also went to Rainbow Springs, which was probably one of the prettiest places that we've been to yet, here in Florida. Quite the bargain too; 1 whole dollar to get into the park. Unfortunately, none of us bothered to remember our camera. Next time....

I went here with the kids a few years ago! We loved it! Got to watch the manatees eat lettuce!
I just want to wish both of you a WONDERFUL Easter, full of God's blessings and time together, away from school and work.
We went there a few years ago. It was very cool.
