We walked through the woods with our small flashlights showing us a path, but in the darkness, it is easy to get turned around
and found ourselves on the other side of the lake. We were greeted with another view if the night sky and the Everglades landscape.

The Famous Ztree Cypress, Everglades
In the midst of the early morning darkness, we were searching for the famous Ztree cypress. We were driving slowly looking with flashlight when someone drove up behind us. I pulled over and the gentleman asked if we were looking for the Ztree. We said yes and he said follow me. We followed him for about a 1/4 mile and sure enough he lead us to the tree! We thanked him before he drove off and we parked the car along the road and began capturing the Z or N tree. We photographed till the sun rose.
