Corkscrew Swamp

My visit to the Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary was not with a group but alone. By not traveling with a group of forty people who scare away the wildlife, I was able to encounter a more diverse group of wildlife along my walk. The species of wildlife seen included alligators, cardinals, bass, and various species of bugs, some of whom bit me up because I did not wear insect repellent. As a resident of the area I found it comforting that we have preserved so much cypress forest. After watching a television show called Ax-Men, I realize how valuable these cypress trees that are four feet plus in diameter to high-end furniture designers. I look forward to bringing my niece and nephew down to the sanctuary when they come for visit next time so they too can view alligators in a swamp setting.
