Scenes from the Florida Panhandle, Part 2

After visiting the beaches along the Florida Panhandle, I went to see some of the springs in the Big Bend and North Central Florida areas. The springs of North Central Florida rank as some of my favorites in the state, so it's always nice to revisit some of the most beautiful ones. 

Enjoy the photos!

Royal Spring's run has several sets of rocky shoals.

It's possible to walk all the way back to the spring from here.

Royal Spring's light blue waters meet the tannic waters of the Suwannee.

Cypresses line the banks of Royal Spring's run.

The banks have become so eroded that many odd-looking tree roots are exposed

Further back from the Suwannee, Royal Spring's run splits in two as it circumnavigates this island.
