It's the "real Florida," for sure!<br /><br />I remember my childhood babysitter warning me about chiggers in Spanish moss. The very idea of using it to stuff anything makes me itch.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1970111941968077431.post-51427391885140372462017-03-16T07:58:49.564-07:002017-03-16T07:58:49.564-07:00Agreed.

It lends a ghostly appearance at dusk, handy for photo opportunities trying to capture that aspect. <br />I have to say if I were boating on a river known to have crocodiles, I wouldn't be in a canoe!Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1970111941968077431.post-7152458326834449302017-03-15T18:27:40.758-07:002017-03-15T18:27:40.758-07:00I was just thinking about those chigger bites tha...I was just thinking about those chigger bites that you can get from bumping into Spanish moss when you are moving about in that area.
