Views of Myakka River State Park: Animals, Flowers, Trails, and Fleeting Moments

It is amazing how much happens at Myakka River State Park.  One guest said "The most interesting animals are the primates".  And he had a point (see below) as we have quite an assortment of primates at the weekly coffee hour.

But there is so much more to see, not only can you observe birds, gators, and snakes...

There are deer, and hogs.

Not to mention the budding floral show.  Yes it is still early for flowers but this is only the beginning.

So, today I will leave this photo gallery of Myakka River State Park with a few snapshots of the park.
