Celery Fields

We've been wanting to explore the Celery Fields area for some time, and we decided to make today the day. There are a lot more trails to explore here, but we brought Jasper with us and he was beginning to tire out, causing us to call it quits a bit earlier than we may have otherwise. This is a really pretty area to explore, and despite being so close to so much of the city of Sarasota, the sounds of the city are drowned out quite well. Next time I'd like to have my longer zoom lens for the camera, as there is a lot of wildlife to photograph! In the meantime, enjoy the pictures from today's visit!
