Contri Date: May 21, 2011 - Wild Pine, also known as Quill Leaf - the subtile colors of it's blossom catch your eye in some of the drier parts of the walk.. We'll toss in an Egret pic maybe tomorrow..

Contri Date: May 20, 2011 - The Majestic Bald Cypress - with roots of the Strangler Fig 'corkscrewing down the trunk - I've been eluding to the views up through the canopy for the last four posts. Here's a typical upward look-see.

Contri Date: May 16, 2011 - Handheld at 1/13th second, I propped the long lens on the hand rail of the boardwalk to shoot this tiny spider & her web. A ray of sunshine touched her work as it poured through a break in the thick forest canopy above. This is the flora and fauna of Corkscrew Swamp... An Audubon Society preserve on the edge of the Everglades east of Naples Florida. Red and I visited here last weekend and made the 2.25 mile boardwalk stroll through six distinct natural habitats. From thick cypress head swamp to open grassy savannah's - this place is a wonderful step back into primal Florida. We'll share some images as dailys for the next days.

Contri Date: May 17, 2011 - Somebody help me with this one.. For the life of me I can't name this tiny orb of delicate white and yellow flowers - all radiating out from a central core - all no larger than a ping-pong ball. 'Bee food.....'

Contri Date: May 22, 2011 - This Great Egret, one of many we worked with this morning - finds home in the 'Lettuce Lakes' of Corkscrew Swamp. Many views of the area where the Egrets were feeding were shot through, under and around trees and undergrowth from the boardwalk. This one was no exception.

Contri Date: May 19, 2011 - Turned left after shooting yesterday's post to shot this one - More from Corkscrew Swamp Audubon Sanctuary - Just a few short feet of the 2.25 mile long boardwalk. This is the last piece of 'Pine Flatwood' very near the return to the Blair Audubon Center at the end of the long loop walk.

Thanks for your comments on Corkscrew - A wonderful study, but only about 100,000 visit each year... Glad we found it.
