Water lilies are abundant and a beautiful part of the wetlands in the Savannas Preserve State Park. I shot this image at sunset - sitting in waist-deep water to get close to the lily pads. Fortunately, no alligators were present at the time.

Moon Over Lighthouse
The Super Moon rises above the Jupiter Light House in south Florida. This full moon is the largest since 1948. What's more, the full moon won't come this close to Earth again until Nov. 25, 2034, according to a statement from NASA. The moon's orange color is due to the scattering of light by the atmosphere. When the moon is near the horizon, the moonlight must pass through much more atmosphere.

Swamp People
Swamp People - or- perhaps just hundreds of spooky Cypress knees growing on the boggy banks of the Santa Fe River in central Florida.
According to Wikipedia: A cypress knee is a distinctive structure forming above the roots of a cypress tree of any of various species of the subfamily Taxodioideae. Their function is unknown, but they are generally seen on trees growing in swamps. Some scientists have thought they may help in oxygenation to the tree's roots or assist in anchoring the tree in the soft, muddy soil. The knees are woody projections sent above the normal water level, roughly vertically from the roots.cypress knees cypress cypress trees swamp swamp trees roots florida swamp florida landscape forest

Rock Arch of Meditation
Arch Rock, is about a 1.5 mile hike from the trail head. The trail actually goes under the arch and requires a climb up several rock steps. The arch is the result of thousands of years of freezing and thawing, which slowly eroded away the softer rock from underneath the harder rock. The perfect place for a peaceful moment of meditation.
