The winding walkway above the alligators and swamp is a quiet setting when the birds stop chirping & screeching. The waters are filled with alligators and herons.

The Everglades Wildlife

There is always something flying, crawling or walking in the Everglades. You never know what you will find.

Good Morning

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
