Bull Gators of Wakulla Springs

 

Friends Det & Judy Abel visited Wakulla Springs State Park recently and shared the following pictures from that visit. Wakulla Springs State Park preserves the spring that is the life blood of the Wakulla River. Myriad varieties of birds winter in the warm waters welling from deep within the Florida aquifer. Wakulla Springs is one of the world's largest & deepest fresh water springs. The spring has been measured at 14,325 gallons per-second or 1.2 billion gallons per-day.
