Hello Folks,

Myself and a few friends decided to go check out 'Billy's Swamp Safari" on the Seminole Indian Reservation this past sunday. The trip included an Airboat ride back into the swamp and a Swamp Buggy ride which lasted roughly 1 hour. The variety of animals & plants was spectacular.

Here are some of what we saw....

This section of swamp is covered in Cypress Trees ..

HHmmm ... Looks like a nice set of Boots could be made with this critter ...

Even in the deep swamp you find little thieves ..

Notice the "little Ones" .... We will refer to them as bacon bits !!!

 

 

Hope you have enjoyed the pics !!

Sean,

When we visited Florida we took a canoe trip, paddling ourselves, and were not that comfortable when we ended up among alligators. You start realizing that you better not tip over.
