Have you ever dove into a spring so clear blue and refreshing that it changed everything you ever thought you knew about natural springs?
This photo was snapped looking over the edge, standing on the diving platform at Blue Springs March 2015
There is nothing like it in the world; the exhilaration and delightful
feeling of jumping into 72 degree clear cerulean springs on a hot
summer’s day in the sacred spaces of Florida’s hidden treasures. I’ve
never felt such pure euphoria and connection to my surroundings as those
times swimming in the natural Florida springs. There is nature at its
purest form gurgling out from below, tickling your toes and daring you
to dive into its depths to witness the primordial bubbles still pumping
volumes of our most precious resource on Earth. From the first time and
after each subsequent visit to our state’s liquid gems I am left in
complete awe of nature at its finest.

I recently visited a string of natural springs that blew my mind, and I don’t put that out there lightly.
In the past my comrades and I have not only visited, but camped and canoed or kayaked many of our state’s most beautiful springs.
To protect this amazing gem I won’t be listing the exact location of this spring, but for those of you who have seen this precious sapphire sparkling in the sunlight….you wouldn’t forget it – ever.
We tend to gravitate to the places that
resonate with us the most, and when it comes to tourism, we can’t help
it, we end up visiting many of the same places over and over again.
Now, more than ever we need to be aware of our ‘footprints’. They could
be annihilating the very things we hold so dear.
