Florida is so much more than beaches and condos. Once you explore the interior, you begin to see the alluring nature of its peaceful rivers and fresh water springs. It truly is “the real Florida.” Hope you enjoy these views from around the state.

Awesome Russ! Thanks for sharing some primordial Florida.
Appreciate that John!
Great pictures! Love it!
Thanks Jenny!
I’m not a beach guy myself. In fact, moreso the swampy parts of S. Georgia and N. Florida appeal to me. They’re a little more out of the way and a little less conventionally beautiful, but all that really works together to keep them preserved, unique places to visit, and especially to paddle.
Your photos are phenomenal as usual, Russ.
Appreciate the kind words. I have always loved the interior of Florida. And when it’s buggy I simply remember the words of Edward Abbey, mosquitoes are the last defenders of the American wilderness.
is that your home away from home in the fist shot? Looks cozy in a lovely locale 🙂
That’s my home about 150 nights a year
no electric bills, no visits from religious orders and what a back yard–I’m seeing the appeal 🙂
Excellent
☺️
These photos have an almost magical aura!
Appreciate that Roselinde!
Of the two vehicles…I prefer the old truck. 🙂
Oh, me too!
