Nothing like a snow storm to appreciate a bit of warmth and green. We’ve been back from a trip to Florida for several weeks, and for some reason, I’ve not been compelled to post these images until today. I understand now with the dreamy wet snow twirling outside my window.<\/p>\n

One of the highlights of the trip was the profusion of beautiful textures and green. So much of it is architectural, with beautiful lines and structure that I am not accustomed to here in the Northeast. The best day was spent in the Mangroves. I went fishing there (with a guide and my father-in-law) and was so happy to feel the warmth, the salty\/brackish water and the waxy leaves of the mangroves. I can’t remember the fish we caught so much as I can the graceful curves of the mangrove roots, and the hundreds of mega-birds there – like Great Blue Herons, Ibis, Roseate Spoonbills and Bald Eagles, and the narrow channels that we explored while fishing.<\/p>\n

We also spent some time at a zoo that had been a botanical garden, where I spotted a “Sausage Tree.” I included the sign to prove it…I could not resist including it among these.<\/p>\n
