Florida is flat like n ironing board. Rivers are as wide as you can see, more lake than anything, because the water doesn’t flow. It’s just sitting there, knee deep and not going anywhere. Weird in its own way, beautiful in another way. There is water everywhere and with the water there are bugs everywhere. Flying, crawling, hopping, jumping, etc. And because of all those bugs, many species of birds, frogs, turtles, snakes, lizards and fish are attracted because there is plenty of food for all of them. And then there are alligators who happen to like all those bug eating animals. Wonderful!

The variety of plants, trees, flowers is also amazing! And the way they grow, standing in mud and rotting leaves, the perfect symbiosis with all the animals who need them for food, shelter, protection
