My Myakka

Myakka State Park, just east of Sarasota, is Florida's largest state park. Many of these were taken in the park's official Wilderness Preserve only accessed by foot or boat. The entrance is by permit only, but they allow up to 30 people to enter each day.

It's nice to know I'm not the only lunatic out there willing to shoot from a kayak!! *LOL* It's about the only way you'd get these terrific shots! Keep up the good work.
