Summer Morning – Deep Creek West

My second visit, this time paddling west towards the St Johns River. I knew the light was not going to be with us. Bright sunny mornings are the norm in Florida. The clouds usually roll in after noon and build into thunderstorms. Good light but being in a boat in a lightening storm is not something I want to do. Going west the creek gently widens. Deep Creek is part of the Deep Creek Conservation Area, a watershed set aside by the government to protect the wetlands and actually help the farmers deal with temperature fluctuations and flooding.

At one point there is a small island that splits the creek. I attempted two handheld panoramic shots that ended up being the keepers for the trip. This is another place to return under better conditions.
