One of a kind:
For today:
There
is a lot of swamp land in Florida. There
was a big joke or crooked sales in the 1950s about selling a lot of land in
Florida, many times under water.
Conservation
took over and the ‘wet-land’ is protected now.
I am sure land where our trailer is was reclaimed before all the
restrictions.
Anyway we have about a mile of swamp
land between us and the rest of Leesburg.
So today I started my walk in that direction. I walked around the swamp.
It is nearly 4 miles.
Looking
up the road, no houses on either side due to the swamp:
The pictures do not show things too
well, but actually there is some natural beauty, even in a swamp.

Of course there are still litterers! That is a mattress methinks.
I walked on
around to my favorite little park and the trail there. Yesterday as I walked I
found a nice red leather hat. I put it
on a post as I entered the park.
Today there was a camouflage shirt added. I
like this. Maybe someone else will add something.
I saw my first fisherman in the canal. One man, nice boat!
I was close enough to exchange 'Good Mornings' him as I
passed. He was going much slower than I walk. The canal is a “LEAVE NO WAKE” therefore boats must go slow.

People trash all over the4 place - and I am not sure why - but I hate it.
So do you have lots of sketters?
I loved the "Canals" in Okeechopbee for fishing. Sad but Litter is common now a days ! Good Pictures, Up North "Swamps" are great Hunting and Trapping Places. Some of our biggest deer are what we call "Swamp Bucks", they have great Racks but meat can be a little tough !
Glad to see your walking, Right now it is 31 degrees and cold, little North of us they got about an inch of "Snow" !!!!
Take care down there and behave, love from the North: Gary and Anna Mae
That post is standing to attention. Beautiful countryside where you walked. Thanx for the fotos, Jack.
God bless always.
I enjoy seeing those walks of yours. Certainly looks better than around here in Ohio. We saw some snow on the ground yesterday and it was cold out too ! Had to put my winter coat on. I'm happy you can enjoy the sunny south!
I love walking with you thru your photos and words. I think I'd also enjoy the canals. Like Woody said, we call the big bucks Swamp Bucks too. We can the meat. Bill has a dandy coming thru by his stand once in awhile but it appears the rut is nearly over, 2 inches of snow and only does and fawns. Oh well. As for litter, we are fortunate along the highway to have groups such as the Scouts, church groups, etc, that clean it up each spring and fall.....we do the stretches along our properties. You're getting ready for the AT hike, aren't you. Good man.
loven'hugs from up north where it feels like this chill in the air is going to hang around til spring......we do need the moisture of the snow.
I think my earlier comment got eaten by Blogger's spamster .. not unlike the gator I was referring to.
