The Jacksonville Zoo is located on the river and some of the scenes of scrub oaks and Spanish moss will look familiar to the locals. What I found was some great shots of the familiar along with a few shots of the exotic. Read Full Story

I was secure in thinking that large monster spiders had given up in their effort to nab a good catch at my house as the only ones near the back door were small and not at all scary.
