I gathered a number of photos from a recent visit to Tree Tops park in Davie, Florida.
The park is made up of 243.3 acres that includes 23 acres from restored freshwater marsh with a 1,000-foot boardwalk.

Afternoon View at the Deering Estates
I was awestruck when I saw this. I stood under the arch enjoying a cool breeze on the veranda during this hot day. All I could think of, was for how many years has this view been here and how lucky I felt to capture it on this day to share. The wood house was first built in 1900, the other stone building was built around 1922.
