“Indulge your imagination in every possible flight.” Jane Austen
All photos in this post were taken by me at Everglades National Park December 2011. I was so happy to be completely enveloped by nature. To walk slowly, pause, listen, observe and snap. The sun was at its highest point in the day which meant harsh bright lighting. By this time the animals lounged lazily with full bellies allowing me to get very close. They watched me as I watched them. They gave me peace that day and smiles when I look at these photos.
