Week Ten Day Four Trail Adventure: Silver Springs Swamp Trail.
This is our first time at Silver Springs State Park.We found the trail. Some sort of drama was being portrayed here by Lizzy and Rachel decided it was a great time to photo bombs 😁.I told the girls prior to coming that there were (Rhesus) monkeys accidentally released in the area and that we might see some. Monkeys are Lizzie’s favorite animal so she was excited, but also a little nervous, about an encounter with a monkey.There were more precautionary signs posted as we got closer to the river.A closer look.According to the sign, this is what a “Threat Face” from a Rhesus Monkey is supposed to look like.Despite the possible threat, we pressed forward. The trail and boardwalk were very nice!The Silver River is absolutely amazingly beautiful 😍We enjoyed this riverside view for quite a while.Beautiful!💙Impossible not to relax and enjoy!Everyone was super happy 😊.Rachel taking relaxation to another level!Oh no!Heading for higher ground just in case 😊.Do you see the large bird on the branch to the left?The water is so clear you can see dozens of fish (some quite large) swimming all around.The birds were putting on a show as well 🙂.I will most definitely be coming back here! Water, palm trees, fish, and birds are a few of my favorite things 😁💝.Although it was only a two mile trail length, Lizzy found this cane-like stick and demonstrated her discomfort (all an act of course).End of trail! We really enjoyed the Silver River Swamp Trail adventure. . . although we didn’t see any monkeys (this time).
