Fall is slowly coming to Florida.

The Santa Fe River between Bell and Branford.

Our September weather in Florida isn't what you'd expect for Fall weather in other parts of the United States, but very slowly we can see some changes that suggest Autumn is on its way. Still, with daily highs in the lower nineties, it's warm enough to swim in our beautiful springs, surf in the ocean, and otherwise enjoy being outside in the summertime.

My newest thing to do out in the water is free-diving, which is great in our springs. Here I am at Ginnie Springs in Gilchrist County, at the Devil's Eye Spring which is well-known for SCUBA cave diving but can also be appreciated by free-divers, though you can't enter the actual cave.
