Blue Cypress Lake

This is Blue Cypress Lake in Vero Beach, FL.  Appropriately named, Cypress trees line the lake, but what's interesting is that Ospreys build their nests here.  It is full of Ospreys, someone estimated 1,000 of them.

My photography group had an outing here an it was absolutely fantastic.  We went out on these pontoon boats and drifted through the area. If you look closely at the picture below, you can see one resting at the top of the tree.

We just drifted through the Cypress trees, shooting nonstop and enjoying ourselves immensely. 

  We were joined by a few kayakers.

And fishermen.  It was a beautiful day on Blue Cypress Lake.

I can't wait to go back.
