Springs and Rocks

Long time since my last post. So sorry.  Vacation happened.  

Let's backtrack.

We were down in the country the last week of June.  One of the side trips we took was to Blue Spring. The picture of the sign explains what it is.  It is also said that the spring is so deep that you can put the Statue of Liberty in the spring and the water will be over the top of the flame.  You could say that it is a very deep spring.  

A little friend we found.

 Ellis and GPop always on the way to exploration.

 The spring is so blue due to the limestone and dolomite deposits.

 Funny enough, this was one of the highlights of our visit.  A dung beetle on his merry way along the path as we were leaving.  Ha!  The things that entertain my crew.

Another outing took us to Rocky Falls for swimming and rock climbing.  

 How clear the water is.  Gotta love the Ozarks!

Now that I have posted these, I want to go back yesterday!
