I have been going to the springs since I was a child. My grandparents used to take me there all the time. Great memories of the area. Thanks for blogging about it.

I have heard rumors that the springs are for sale. Is it true and who is selling it and for how much?
Thank you for your response.

Hi Barbara! This sounds fantastic. I had no idea the natural Warm Springs was in North Port. My husband and I own a piece of property there in a mostly unimproved area in the Scrub Jay Habitat buffer zone. Your great article and photos make me want to renew our plans to move to our little plot of heaven. Thanks for sharing your travels. Judith Richards Shubert’s last blog post..Fresh Fruit Orange Dip

Im so glad you wrote about this. As a practicing pharmacist I see on a daily basis our over reliance on pain medicine to reduce pain. “Taking the cure” is unfortunately a long, lost and misunderstood benefit. It can be so beneficial to aging joints of osteoarthritis and patients with muscular and joint pain such as fibromyalgia. Here in the U.S. with the advent of modern medicine this delightful way to ease joint and muscular pain fell to the wayside. Fortunately in Europe it is part of accepted medical treatment and a 3 week spa stay is reimbursed by medical insurance!

Hi Gudrun:
I use a Canon EOS Rebel xTi with 11.3 pegapixels. It’s a pretty good camera, and I shoot in the largest size, highest quality setting, so my images are something like 45 inches wide at 72ppi. Also, I prefer rich saturation and high contrast, so I usually shoot with the “shade” white balance on, even in full sunlight. Makes the images warmer. The downside of that is that when I shrink my photos to 500 px wide for the blogs, the high contrast and dense color tend to block up a bit because it is too much for the small size. So I often use Photoshohp to tweak the curves a bit for overall lightening and then sharpen with the Unsharp Mask filter at 50%. If I were using a full size image, I would have to do nothing to it. Thanks for asking!

love your pictures, especially the heron! What camera do you use to take your photos? And do you do a lot of post-production editing? Gudrun’s last blog post..Follow the Laura Ingalls Wilder Trail
