Nearer towards the head-spring, we observed the white sand bottom through clear water. In the wetlands, the water was darker like “tannin tea”. Throughout, trees like hickory, sweetgum, cypress, sabal palm, sawpalmetto and pine were standing tall; strong plants like swordfern, spiderwort, beautyberry, wild grape and greenbrier were observed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a30b0f5bff200da8cd445f2/1585009784709-AE2KKA8B310CE8ALGYIE/Ocklawaha-River-FreedomFrom-impoundment.jpg Water Unites These images display some of the conditions we observed along the Ocklawaha River at “Putnam County Florida” during the first week of Spring 2020. The impoundments of the Natural Waterways on the Allodial Estate of the True Americans happened mostly between 1950-1979. Breaching the “Kirpatrick Dam” and others is vitally important. Dams thwart the natural flow and speed of fresh water springs, challenging the People, flora and fauna of the land.

We observed and documented the clear aqua colored water with many manatees swimming within. Various species of birds, including anhingas to crows and hawks viewing the environment from atop tall hickory and juniper trees; bees pollinating bottlebrush trees; cactus plants, plantago, and various species of American flora were also observed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a30b0f5bff200da8cd445f2/1585024329942-PK9R48FO7GIBZ33G7MBK/SantaFe-River-rise-sink-High-Springs-Florida-Oleno-State-Park.jpg Water Unites Images from our “Santa Fe River Rise and Sink” journey 12-28-2019. Hiking along the river we noticed the consistent water flow till we reached a stagnant pond loaded with duck weed.

We observed and documented various species of trees, shrubs and plants with colorful blossoms from rich reds to, yellow. The Palatlakaha runs north for forty four miles and is fed by waters originating in the Green Swamp. Pilocklakaha is said to be of “Creek“ origin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a30b0f5bff200da8cd445f2/1585092386231-SU36A6Z9N0R6LIAREX3U/Blue-Pond-Trail-Dunns-Creek-Palatka-Florida-Puttman-County.jpg Water Unites Images of scenes captured while on a journey to locate small mounds, some call “middens” near Blue Pond, (Pomona Park, Florida). Our interest was peaked to experience this location because Blue Pond, due to its position over the aquifer, maintains its stable water level when other water bodies in the area suffer substantial draw downs during droughts. We observed the tranquil waters under a blue sky, while walking atop sandy soil covered with pine needles and leaves. The aroma of the pine needles was bold in the air as we noticed it before looking for the source. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a30b0f5bff200da8cd445f2/1585100554803-4KMT3NWMGMKJG58CJS4Y/blue-hole-spring-chipola-river-marianna-florida-caverns.jpg Water Unites The Chipola River for a portion of its 92 mile run veers underground periodically, resurfaces and serves as a tributary for the Apalachicola River. It is also partially sourced by Blue Hole Spring. Americans enjoyed it for more than ten thousand years before European emigrants/colonist settled in the Aboriginal Territory, some call “Marianna, Florida“. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a30b0f5bff200da8cd445f2/1585109240531-0169HINWOO3YN82KPYT4/kissimmee-lake-lake-wales-florida.jpg Water Unites The Cacema, “Kissimmee” River is a series of lakes which originates from the Green Swamp (“Central Florida“) and spans southward to Lake Okeechobee.
