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.
