Some Things Along the Banks of the St. John's River!

 This is an interesting plant.  I don't know what it is.  I am not much of a botanist.

 And then there is this.  What a strange fruit or whatever hanging down from a tree.

I know what these are.  These are cypress knees.

 There are river people who put of shacks of a sort along the more secluded parts of the river.

 The wild life on this river is wonderful.  Birds, Alligators, turtles, etc.

 This is an old branch of the river.  You go down this and you have left the 21st century.

 Spanish moss all over the trees.  Early 1900's Spanish Moss was used to stuff mattresses.  It is loaded with bugs though...thus the saying...don't let the bed bugs bite.  It was given the name Spanish Moss as it supposedly resembles the beards of the spaniards who settled Florida.

 I love the trees in Florida....especially the large oaks.

This is a bridge that crosses the river.  One county is on one end and another county at the other.
