This is a cool place to go hike, canoe, take pictures, hang out or drive through the 5 mile trail.
Norm was the first person I met on the trail. He volunteers for the Forest Service and was a very knowledgeable and helpful guy.

A Heron hanging in a tree…

An Osprey…

Flying away…

An egret fishing…


Last but not least, the token Geko.

There is so much to do at Ding Darling. Check it out next time you are in the Ft. Meyers area.

Nice website!!
Rob, I wish I’d known you were going here. I could have hooked you up with some great guides and fellow photographers.
Love your shots from here and enjoyed your blog.
