Only in Florida

I took this photo in late summer while swimming in one of the many lakes near the small town of Hawthorne, east of Palatka and not far from the Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings Historic Site at Cross Creek. The water was perfect—calm, cool, crystal clear and ideal for a hot day. The water lily flowers were enormous and it was fascinating watching them slowly close as the sun set over the trees to the west. It was a day you didn’t want to end. — John
