A stunning blue sky reflects in the crystal clear waters at Silver Springs as patrons celebrate Labor Day out on the pristine waters of the Silver River on Monday September 2, 2013. The cool waters were alive with kayaking, canoes and boats out exploring natures finest including many species of fish, turtles, birds and wildlife basking along the shoreline including gators and wild monkeys.
