Our trip to Corkscrew was fun and educational, although the field trips got harder and harder for me being now 7 and 1/2 months pregnant. It definitely got harder and harder to concentrate as well. Corkscrew has a bald cypress forest. pine flatwood, wet prairie, pond cypress, marsh, and lettuce lakes. Just before we got to see a water moccasin. It was cool because it brought back many memories. When I lived in Jacksonville, FL with my mom and dad, we had a canal and acres of woods beyond our backyard. As kids we would run through the woods and wade in the canals with the black water moccasins - very poisonous snakes. One time, a mother's eggs hatched in our yard and we had dozens of babies everywhere. My dad frantically tried to get them out of the yard. I remember the dramatics of the situation like it was yesterday. My favorite part of Corkscrew was lettuce lakes though. We saw a mother alligator with her babies. Then just past we saw an alligator eating fish or frogs. He was catching something and he was surrounded by beautiful white birds.
