Highlands Hammock State Park
Sebring, Florida
Marc- The highlight of today was our walking the Cypress Swamp Trail. It starts off as a boardwalk but soon becomes a catwalk through the most unbelievable scenery. The only downside of the catwalk is that you have to pay attention where you are walking. We saw several egrets and two red shouldered hawks.

We saw plenty of large live oak trees on other trails today. The base of these trees is very impressive.
The oak trees here reach for the sky.

This is what is left of a palm tree stump.

This is what is floating.
We finished off the day driving into town. Not much to report except a farmers market where we picked up some excellent locally grown tangerines. We drove through some of the extensive groves before coming back to the campground.

One of the floating plants captures bugs under water.
