Jacksonville Zoo Photos - Jacksonville FL

These Jacksonville Zoo photos taken in the 1960s and also in 2011 are but a small sample of the changes that have taken place at the zoo over the years. But one thing that hasn't changed is the wonder and enjoyment the Jacksonville Zoo has brought to generations of kids and adults alike as they explore the lives of animals and plants from all over the world. As the Jacksonville Zoo approaches its first 100 years in 2014, hopefully many more photos throughout the zoo's history will be made available to the public through the official website of the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens. If you're one of the many living in Northeast Florida who's become a fan of the Zoo through everything from birthday parties to the Halloween Spooktacular and other events held each year, please consider sharing your own memories and photos by clicking here. And for those looking forward to their first visit, remember - some of the funniest photos you'll take are of the animals taking the pictures at the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens.

Fall Photos - North Central Florida

These Fall photos of North Central Florida are just a brief nostalgic trip back to a time when Fall was a word used to describe the seasons more than the stock market. Change is not always bad and all the colors of Autumn are still here, even in Florida if you know where to look.

Georges Lake Area - Etoniah State Forest

These photos of Georges Lake are part of the Georges Lake area of Etoniah State Forest. A picture is worth a thousand words but nothing beats being there. Getting there can be a bit bumpy going down Tinsley Road (see map where Etoniah meets the Lake), but the trail is nice and just a few minutes walk to Georges Lake.
