Trip to the Corkscrew Sanctuary:

I loved the adventure out to the sanctuary. There were so many cool things that it was really overwhelming. 

When we first started out it was very interesting. Went through some low brush area and some small trees. Then all of a sudden it all opens up into and grassy field. A really big change.

There were tons and tons of spider webs

This is where all the deer walk around. And then right across the field to the left is a huge wall of trees. Very dense cypress trees. I could not believe we were in Florida right now. It seemed we were in the middle of the jungle or something.

Then in some areas of the "dome" were breaks in the trees and had tons of alligator flags. Such as these. These would move in the water when an alligator was passing by them.

Then right as we were about to leave, there was a sighting of a black bear. We followed the boardwalk to only see a glimpse of the massive beast. Didn't get a really good picture of it..

There were so many more things that happened on the trip. I would love to go back there during the day as well as at night. I'm sure the stars are beautiful out there.
