Everglades National Park




Tis the season to come down to The Sunshine State and escape the cold up north.

Emily's friend Lauren Hughes was down in Miami for a medical conference last weekend.


We decided to spend a couple hours on Sunday at Everglades National Park. We got rained on during our hike on the famous Anhinga Trail. It is the best place to see wildlife.

This is shot of Lauren taking a close up of cardinal air plants growing on one of the trees along the trail.



This is an Anhinga (the trail's namesake) drying its wings after diving into the water to spear and eat a fish with its pointed beak.





This big beautiful water bird is
the Great Blue Heron.





This alligator had a big smile.
He was one of 27 we saw along the trail that day.



Alligators weren't the only thing out and about. There were many other photographers there capturing the wildlife on film. This guy had a camera lense as big as my left leg!
Another fun adventure logged on the blog!
