Friends have told me about this remarkable nature reserve in Polk County near Lakeland and Winter Haven.  Yesterday I rode the motorcycle out there to check it out.

This is a fantastic piece of nature in the heart of Florida that is home to all kinds of wildlife. It is well maintained, has clean facilities, picnic area and a nature discover center where you can learn about the reserve and its wildlife.

Since I didn’t get there until late morning, I did not have the best light for photography.  I think the critters had also settled in by then.  I will to try to get back there close to sun up and see what kind of photographs I can capture.

Here are a few from yesterday’s exploration.

If you ever are in the area, Circle B Bar Reserve is a “Must”.  And if you live in the area and are not taking advantage of this remarkable place, you are truly missing something.
