Day 3


It was a long day of driving from Perry to Sebring.

But on the way, we stopped for a couple of hours at Fanning Springs State Park where we were greeted by what some of us thought was a friendly little tribe of Druids, emerging from under the cypress trees (see photo).

And we enjoyed Kathy's demonstration of a unique characteristic of Cornus (dogwood). When the leaf blade is carefully torn, xylem elements in the veins can be drawn out between the two halves, like a very fine thread.
