It almost looks as if the trees were light up from bottom.
Interplay of light and reflection, beautifully dramatic! 💜💙💜
Wow, totally gorgeous

Great reflection shots!!!!!
God i need to make this trip. Beautiful photos
Beautiful!

Incredible photos!!
Hillsborough River, Morris Bridge to Sargeants Park. Beautiful, secluded, hardly a soul in sight (except for the 20+ gators and hundreds of birds).
Our favorite stretch of the river!
Couple of months go I just passed the State Park and saw a gator going after a crane. Crane got away. To bad I did not have my camera ready.
Ok. Serious question. We are traveling to Florida this week for the month. Are gators really super common? What do we need to know to stay safe? Have to admit... I’m a bit nervous especially when I think about kayaking.
Taken near Dade City, Fl in my recent camping trip
Gorgeous pictures!
where is this?
Gorgeous shots! What camera did you use? Is it waterproof? (Because I don’t trust myself holding a non-waterproof camera while on the water. 😂) They’re so crisp!
You are super talented, love the shots you take of my son on MX tracks
Loren Omer thank you! And the camera is weather resistant but not water proof. Taken on a Nikon Z6 II with a sigma 70-200mm
Beautiful pictures
Really nice!
Nice photographs!
BEAUTIFUL 😍😍😍😍
Great pics! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing these great pictures!
Chasing Dolphins
I decided to go check out lake Okeechobee this weekend and I was not disappointed! Did an 8 mile sunrise paddle and saw a lot of neat stuff, despite being the only one in a kayak. To be honest I didn't see another kayak anywhere the whole weekend I was camping up there. Lots of boaters and lots of boater noise, but I recommend it to those of you who haven't tried . I put in at Okeechobee. Real nice day ☺️
Has anybody here paddled the whole lake before?
Would never think to paddle it! How was the wind?
I’ve been living here in chobee since 1978 my grandfather was born here in the early 1900’s and I’ve only paddled the lake once , I’ve done a lot ( LOT ) of boating on the lake and wave runners . I guess the reason I don’t paddle the lake is it’s not really that safe for paddlers . ( my opinion ) it can get bad if the weather catch’s you out , being it’s a very shallow big lake and the waves have killed a many of boaters by bashing their hull against the bottom till the boats disintegrated. There are some big I mean BIG gators out there ( in a past life my family owned a hunting ranch and we ran gator hunts out on the lake and we got some up to 12 feet . ) but mostly boaters are a hazard is my Main reason for not venturing out there , air boats charging through brush have almost hit my bass boat with feet a few times and the bass boats running 80 ( as mine did ) through narrow cuts with curves not thinking of yackers . But I’m glad you enjoyed your paddle and got out safe 👍 the water most times is to murky to see bottom even in 3 feet of water most times . The rim canal can most times be very clear but it’s also very deep I’ve sounded places up to 28 feet at locks and the sides drop straight off being it was dug by dragline and such . I’ve caught some bass up to 10 pounds near JS fish camp and near Taylor creek .
Wow! Grew up there. Never thought to go visit and bring my kayak. Looks beautiful.
Beautiful! I’ve only biked around the path at the top of the dam. You have some incredible photos on your profile. You have had amazing treks!
Try Yankeetown, you won't be disappointed.
Jackie Hunt this lake we drove by Friday
I was out yesterday morning in my boat. It's busy because crappie fishing just started and of course duck hunting so traffic is heavy. There was a couple kayakers at Harney Pond boat ramps
So beautiful😊
Much birdlife?
I bet your instagram is 🔥! 👀
Beauty on beauty, both magnificent 😊
That's nice to hear they got it cleaned up, I was down there probably about 10 years ago I think we went out fishing and the place was nasty.
Beautiful!
Where was it that you camped
A brave soul, thanks for the pictures.Stay safe.
Back in the late 80’s, I canoed from Chobee Loop in Buckhead Ridge through the locks out to the lake.
It's a surprisingly calm lake.
Another idea for my bucket list, thanks 👍👍
Did a little kayaking in the mangroves Friday and Saturday. Found several nice campsites. Dead sea turtle stinking to high heaven. A juvenile raccoon hanging out by the water.
Very cool. What app do u use to track your paddle?
There is alot of big gators there.
I paddle there from time to time but I put in on west side & go east to start. Have a Great Day.
Had a little time yesterday so went to saddle creek park
Nice to explore.. tough place to fish.
Huge Florida Gator Caught On Camera
I think it’s the angle that makes it look larger than large. Compare the bird in the background to the size of the head.
Handsome beastie!
Better hope he doesn’t start liking kayaks 😆
Kimberly Ann Jackie Ann 😳
Nice!
Looks fake
Crap!! That does look like it straight out of Jurassic Park! 😳
Photoshopped 🤐

Where at in leesburg?
I think I would have the change my shorts if I saw this one while kayaking 😳😳
That guy's gotta be 18 feet. Haha.
I've been trying to ID the ducks in front and behind it to get some reference to help with the sizing but it's too blurry. Since the longest gator ever caught in FL was a tad over 14-foot, an 18-footer WOULD be a monster, but I've seen many about 12-foot.
Big boy
Wakulla Springs has some big ones we saw back in the day...but man this guy looks insane!
Only place I've seen one that big is on the Ekon.
Those ducks are just like...
Love my swamp puppies ❤️🇺🇸😎
Just a little lizard!
LOL...the gator is not nearly as incredible as the mountains in Leesburg! Not to mention the monster duck!
Looks fake af

Today at Silver Springs, finally saw some monkeys!!! Great day on the water too.
Lived here my entire life and found out a few hears ago there are monkeys! Haven't seen any yet though! Very cool!
Your lucky, still none for me. One day hopefully
Hell ya sweet!! Did you launch at state park to rays?
You finally got to see a monkey....woo hoo!
I saw them Saturday. How awesome!
We saw them Friday also, beautiful day!!! Launched at State Park and got out at Ray’s.
Monkeys ,,, 6 trips to silver springs -0 monkeys !! Fake news 😜 Just kidding😁 But 0 monkeys .
I was so excited when I saw them while I was there last month
I bet you those monkeys are trying to find a warm place to sleep these days. It's a little chilly up there
Great day on the water!
Very cool 😎
We were there yesterday and yes, so many manatees right now!
Ahh you got really good pics!!
Moe Suleiman
Hopefully the newborn doesn't have any new scars from boat props. This picture is the day after it was born. 😔
Wow. I’ve never seen a monkey in the wild. Do they interact at all or just watch you.

Beautiful Aussie.
Beautiful Man and his dog adventure!
Ahh, see this is what our SJ RYC does (South Jersey Redneck Yak Club). We bring pups and swim in the water and have fun... so nice to see it can be done in FL as well 😁
Edward Zorn 👀
These pictures are precious!

Your Aussie has the best life 😊
Love kings landing!!!

A few pictures from Kings Landing yesterday.
Love this paddle, so much fun and so gorgeous
Glad to see it’s getting back to normal colors. Great paddle.
Beautiful day on Ten Mile Creek st lucie county, ft. Pierce. East coast
Beautiful day for it, I got stuck with the Christmas tree duties!
At first glance it looked like you were kayaking behind a storm trooper.
I thought the exact same thing!! I had to zoom in!
What section of ten mile creek is this?? The other sections are open canals with dams
looks like a storm trooper from star wars
pretty sure thats on the ocean planet Trask
[email protected] thought was a stormtrooper kayaking
Where is this? Is this in Levy Co.?
Our Thanksgiving on the Silver River!
Great Pictures, thanks for posting.
Awesome photos, Ann!
We were there too, amazing day
Beautiful shots!
Awesome!
no big gator
You’re great at catching wildlife at just the right moment!!wonderful pictures I’ve lived, but never photo’d so well.
Stunning photos!
Great paddle with my brother today on Lofton Creek! I think we might have come across one of Pablo Escobar's drug running fast boats next to the dock to nowhere!!
Beautiful ❤️
Is that the boat without a motor?
Where is this?
Beautiful photos
Had a blast yesterday at one of my favorite spots, Turkey Creek. They have a really inexpensive place to rent kayaks so my friends could tag along.
My Dad lives on that creek, I haven't paddled it yet though.
Nice! I love finding out about new places! 😁
I live next to Goode park lol
I think i saw you guys out there yesterday.
Paddled the Loxahatchee Blueway today with my husband. Only one other person encountered on our way back, had the slough all to ourselves.
Wish I could’ve been there! Looks amazing!
Wow beautiful!! Where exactly is this? Riverbend is always my go-to because it’s basically next door but always looking for some new spots.
Bokeelia, Florida 🐬✌️🤙🤟
Where do you put in? I don’t live far from there🏵
Norma Rodriguez
Awesome‼️
