With it being so hot here at the moment, it is only natural I would be thinking about the Old Suwannee River...and just maybe sometime soon we might go enjoy one of the many springs for a refreshing dip...
In the meantime here are some photos I took back in the spring at the Fort Fanning Park in Fanning Springs Florida...How blessed are we to live less than 10 miles from this park.
The day we were visiting the tide was super low, allowing us to walk down the old stone stairs onto the beach below the park look-out.
This "beach" during high tide can be more than 6 or 8 ft under water...
You can see the high tide mark on the bridge if you look carefully...
This is the last bridge to span the Suwannee River before it empties into the Gulf of Mexico about 30 miles down river.
Looking up river you can see how magnificent it is even at low tide...
I hope looking at all this lovely water helped to cool you down some...Blessings Kelsie

Looks like such a peaceful place to get away.
Kelsie,
It worked!!! Lovely photos! Reminded me of going to Church Camp when I was in my teens! Those are precious memories with some of my former classmates!!!
Fondly,
Pat
What beautiful photos Kelsie, especially of Sarah and your husband.. I am sitting here with a rug over my knees, but I still appreciated the river photos!!xx
I always remembered the song, 'Swannee River' and wondered if it was a real river, and now I find out it is. (I did an online search and found out it is titled 'Old Folks at Home') I learned something new today, lol.
It is truly amazing to see how much the water depth varies according to the tides. Thank you for this post, it was a lot of fun to learn about new places!
What a beautiful park! The water is so beautiful and blue. :) We spent all day at the lake. So fun. :)
Nice and cool sitting in the a/c...
