VIDEO: GoPro Hero2, Hero3, Nikon D300s
EDITING: Final Cut Pro X
I remember fondly of going on a day of tubbing down one of the springs in the 70's, boy do I miss that. I was a Floridian.
Well Done...Bravo ! This was a great video.I appreciated the bonus foliage in the shot with the hibiscus looking flower ! This film is a true work of art. Growing up in Florida and falling in love with its natural springs has been the best part of my journey so far....Thank You !
My husband and I have been to all of these springs over the years. We are going to begin exploring all the springs in NW Florida in the panhandle. First is Devils Hole and Blue Springs near the Econfina river.
The Florida aquifers are one of the most beautiful and important resources that the state has. We needto take care of them. I'm from Maine and I have visited these places a few times and I am blessed every time I go. I am very careful not to upset the environment, and just enjoy the beautiful fish and scenery. Thank you Florida for allowing me this pleasure in the middle of my hard cold winters.
Florida is now dumping treated sewage into the aquifers.
I like to poop in them, you can watch your turd sink.
@@MarcassCarcass How can it still be sewage if it has been treated?
@@321gates would you drink treated sewage?
@@03avalanchetruck Name one river in America, or anywhere for that matter, where health experts would advise you to drink from. We've kind of move beyond those days, you know, thanks to water treatment facilities and all ...
This is an amazing video. I have been swimming in many of the springs named in this video that are in Central Florida from Blue Spring in Orange City, Florida, to Juniper and Silver Glenn in the Ocala National Forest since I was a young child. Yesterday, I swam for hours at Wekiva Springs State Park in Longwood/Apopka Florida (not featured). This video captures expertly the glorious beauty of the springs it was filmed in. Thank you for giving the world such an amazing view of the wonder that is the the Floridian Aquifer System and its springs. I'll take a swim in spring over a pool any day!
This brings back fond memories of scuba diving at Morrison Springs and Vortex Springs in the Panhandle. Of the two I prefer diving at Morrison Springs. It has been years and I had forgotten how beautiful the springs were. Thank you so much for this!
Thank you. I'm glad it brought back fond memories.
Thank you for posting this! I have dived several springs in Florida and my favorite one is in Blue Spring State Park.
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL
Excellent video production on all levels, from the choice of vocal narrator, to photography to music selection. This video truly showcases some of the natural beauty that is the real Florida. One of the only things I miss is Florida's natural beauty. Thanks for posting this and may our Creator continue to bless you.
Ma'am,
What an amazing springs film you produced. I enjoyed every bit of it. Btw, the gopro footage looks phenomenal.
Extremely informative. Thank you, Well Done!
Thk u so much for this amazing video 🙏
I just started traveling and making videos and this is sooo cool. I hope I get to visit some of these places!
Absolutely amazing! Can't wait to actually see these places!
i dont mean to be off topic but does anybody know of a method to log back into an instagram account?
I was dumb forgot my login password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me
@Paxton Kobe instablaster ;)
Neat Video! Thanks for sharing.
Great job!
Thanks for the reply. I called the Silver River State Park. No swimming there. People who want to swim have the option of paddling up or down the river and jumping in, but it's not recommended because of the gators risk.
I’m so lucky to live in a state with such a beautiful ecosystem and wildlife
Nicely done. I've paddled some of the places in this video and I'm motivated to visit the others like Rainbow Springs.
Thank you…and…yes, definitely visit Rainbow Springs. The Rainbow River is particularly beautiful.
John Wright rainbow springs is very fun! I like the river run better
beautiful and informative. Film your next one in 4k
Great work! I see that you shot at Silver Springs. A few years back, somebody took me in a boat up the Silver River, all the way to the spring. Gorgeous! We even jumped out a few times to swim. Would like to get back into that river. Any way you know to access it without a boat? Would really appreciate any ideas/tips.
great video
Brilliant. The best intro to the Florida Springs I've seen. Proof positive of the existence of gods. And yes the alligators can be dangerous, part of the mystery, beauty and terror of the Wild. Your couch will kill you quicker. Learn and teach respect not fear. Thanks Maykay for a wonderful video. Highly recommend Bill Belville's book Peace of Blue for a deeper understanding of the worlds 8th wonder before they are gone. Huckleberry Dave the last Floridian
Great footage and narration.
Thank you for your nice comment and for sharing the video.
The most beautiful inland waterways in the country that u can go to year round as opposed to 48 other states love Florida
I have 2: 1/2 acre lots side by side in Fanning Springs FL. They are on the end of a caldera sack for sale for around 30k . Put a nice 70k manufactured home and live the good life for around 100k. Walmart is right down the road,and Gainesville is 45 minutes away with great health care!
Warren I would like to know more about those lots,Jeff
Frank Benischeck his name is Warren not Jeff?! 😂

Frank Benischeck btw it's spelled "duh" & yw.
I love this. Would it be ok to show this to students in a presentation i do for schools? I talk to 3rd,4rth,and 5th graders about the Floridan Aquifer and talk about it's importantance,what springs are, and how pollution gets into them. This would be an amazing companion to A Waters Journey.
I think it would be ok.... I watched this video as an assignment from one of my teachers.
Great video. We are visiting Ocala National Forest. Which springs do you recommend?
Tubing on the Itchatucknee is a lot of fun and so relaxing. But the water is cold except when you're over a warm spring. Absolutely beautiful.
I live here, great place
nice.
This is great we cooping😉
The Navy has ruined the beautiful Bugg Springs behind our property. When we first moved here 25 years ago it was clear and beautuful...not any longer. They put a chaon link fence across the head od the spring so it does not flow freely because vegetation has blocked it.
very pretty MJ...
Thank you, Holly. Glad you enjoyed!
OUR SPRINGS WERE THE FOUNTAIN
OF YOUTH DeLeon was In Search of
He just didn’t Realize it.
Cool Pure water that kept Indian Tribes
Living nearby Healthy and Long Lived.
Springs loved to death it's very sad
It would be so much fun snorkeling in that beautiful water, but not if there’s alligators. 🐊
Water? I hardly know her!
🔮
6:28 that one plant with the nice pinkish reddish flower looks very similar to cannabis lmao
Aren't the people diving and tubing at risk for alligators ?
Given a choice, alligators want warmer water. So the closer you are to the spring, the less chance of gators. You could go in the winter when the gators are in their holes and the manatees are in the springs.
Michigan and Florida are so similar both states have a lot of Springs and both states are surrounded by water.
Gators 😰
Great video! Check out our trip to Blue Spring on our channel. We subscribed!
Ahhhhhh...a nice relaxing intertube ride amongst the ALLIGATORS???!!! No, thanks.
a "world wide flood" caused the underground aquifer? lol

Mr. Leonard, I have no intention of allowing this video to become a platform for a creation vs. evolution debate.
It's a beautifully made video with lots of great info but, that part made me giggle.. Sorry :)
@@mjwheelers The best way to invite judgement is to demand that no one judge you. Duh geee Patrick!
@@mjwheelers Who's debating?
To bad the state of Florida has no respect for its natural wonders such as the springs. Nitrate pollution has all but ruined many of the rivers that flow from the springs.
