The Swamps of Riverbend

I recently visited Riverbend Park in West Palm Beach. This park is very large – 665 acres. There are terrific trails, but you need to go early to see all the wild life

As the Sun Rises

The sun’s appearance turned the sky an almost red glow as it rose from behind the clouds and horizon. The landscape of pine trees and cypress with the tall grasses seemed to look like it did hundreds of years ago in the Everglades National Park in Homestead, FL. It was a cool morning in the 50’s, the wind was barely moving with clouds being seen only on the horizon .

The Darkness with a Star

Long Pine Key was dark, the mist lightly covered the lake. I know that is not a star, but that beautiful spot of light is Venus  -it shined like a jewel in the sky

Long Pine Key – Everglades National Park

I drove down to the Everglades this morning to catch a sunrise and to visit a Meetup group. This photo was taken 30 minutes before dawn. No clouds in the sky. The air was cool and very still. There was a shroud of mist across the lake.

The Moon Set over the Inlet

The Sun was rising as the full moon was setting across the Jupiter Inlet.

Matheson Hammock at Sunrise

An early morning with very cloudy skies. When the sun begins to reach below the horizon and the sky gives up it’s special colors at Matheson Hammock, Miami.
