Tarpon Springs, Florida, United States - 18th March 2009

By: tarepanda

Today we visit Craig Park.

Behind us is a bayou.  During winter time there are manatees but we look and look and can't find any.

This is a cute little palm tree.

And a big palm tree.

Around the bayou there are a lot of old houses like this one.

The trees all have mustache.  My host tells us that they are Spanish moss.  Hanging from the trees, they make the scenery very romantic, or, very spooky, depends on your mood.

Our host wants to gather some moss so we help her.

In the park is the Heritage Museum.

Looks like there are people living here from a long, long time ago.

The ancient people used this conch shell to make an axe.

This is a sponge press used to pack sponges into bags like the one on the right.
