Today, I bring you some of the natural and human-made beauty one can find in our state of Florida. Some of the plantings may be native and some may not but all these pictures were taken in Florida.
I couldn't resist the one non flora/fauna picture as the building is so beautiful.
Morikami Japanese Gardens, Delray Beach Florida.
Bird almost hidden, Ft. Myers, Florida.
What a beautiful state Florida is. Too many tourists come for the theme parks and miss the natural beauty.
F day in the Blogging from A to Z Challenge. My theme: Beauty of Our Land
Fabulous pics!
ReplyDeleteThere's a lot more to it than Disney World...
ReplyDelete...this looks fabulous on this snowy morning.
ReplyDeleteThere certainly is a lot more to Florida than the theme parks! And even more than the beaches. I love the horse farms here in north central Florida. And the many springs around the state.
ReplyDeleteI agree about the theme parks vs the landscape. The Japanese garden is a fascinating place. When I discovered it, I had to go back again and again.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteMy in laws lived just outside of Ft. Myers. Beautiful area. Nice photos
ReplyDeleteThe Punta Gorda photo is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI was in Florida long ago, just passing through, and I remember seeing an alligator, and the most marvelous mollusks in the shallow waters, huge snails I'd only seen previously as empty shells for sale. I do believe it's a cormorant, it looks like the kind I grew up seeing on the CA coast, flying in and out of sea caves.
ReplyDeleteIt is a shame when manmade attractions override natural beauty. Visitors miss so much.
ReplyDeleteThanks for focusing on some of Florida's natural gifts.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos. Thanks for showing me the beauty of your land. I never heard of an anhinga before, but after looking it up I agree with you (and not your iPhone) That's an anhinga, not a cormorant - I know cormorants from here (Denmark). Thanks for the wonderful piece from Sound of Music yesterday, it has a special place in my heart.
ReplyDeleteI am jealous of anyone who lives in Florida. So lucky.
ReplyDeleteI love what you took pictures of. Everything is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI love your theme. Beautiful photos. The pink sky photo is beyond wonderful.
ReplyDeleteSuch an interesting location. Beaches and swamps and all sorts of things to see.
ReplyDeleteFlowers are out.
