The plants casting the shadows are called Alligator Flags. A sign at Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary said to look for them if you're lost, because they grow where there's fresh water. Just one more piece of knowledge that we never want to put to good use.
When I wrote about Corkscrew earlier, a couple of people asked if we ever came across any scary creatures when we were out in our Florida swamps.
We did spot this guy on that walk. He was so little, he almost looked like a toy alligator.
But we are safe from creatures (except perhaps for the occasional biting insect). As the picture below illustrates, this walk is soft adventure.
Safe for all ages. Unless you accidentally run into that tree in the middle of the boardwalk!
