Blue Spring Run — Blue Spring State Park, Florida
Several of these large turtles were sunning themselves on fallen logs in the run near the St. Johns River. A couple large alligators were nearby, and the turtles seemed to be keeping their eyes on them. An Anhinga stood on a nearby log drying its wings, and several West Indian Manatees were grazing and lazing in the water.
