Myakka River State Park

I was up in the Tampa/St. Pete area visiting family this past weekend and decided to stop by Myakka River State Park on my way home.  I spent a few hours exploring the park and taking notes on future photography locations.  I did hike a few trails but for the most part spent most of my time in the truck driving around.  While there I saw numerous birds, alligators and hogs.  I also saw about 40 or so turkeys throughout the park.  The day that I was there was somewhat overcast and rain moved in as I was leaving.  I did get a unique shot of an oak tree that I spotted not to far off the main road.

I plan on heading back this spring to maybe spend a full weekend camping and exploring the miles of trails that wind throughout Myakka River State Park.
