The Glades.
Florida is a great place to take a nature walk. (unless you're scared of alligators) When I'm there, I always go to Rookery Swamp, the remote Crew Trails and of course, beautiful Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary. I'm happy to own a yearly pass! That's a lot of wildlife - I just wished I actually lived there. After all, I can prove I belong there by the real color of my hair. (in between dye jobs)
Here are some highlights from my 2017 camera role...
A hawk at Rookery Swamp.
Tiny bathing beauties.
Florida wildflowers
Hunters.
A fluffy white egret on a carpet salad. Or a lettuce lake.
A pretty purple Gallinule. My first very sighting! I saw a lot of these in Guatemala this year.
Smothered and Covered at the Waffle House...I mean Corkscrew.
Turtle soup.
An odd Roseate Spoonbill. It wasn't that long ago that I had never seen one!
Colorful Crew Trails
Bright berries hanging in a blue sky.
Bald heads.
Red heads.
Holes.

Sharon your Florida photos are so beautiful. You certainly captured the wildlife in the 'Glades
These are marvelous photos - the pileated woodpecker is so striking, isn't he?
Thanks for sharing at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2018/01/fun-with-textures-in-photoshop.html
Your pictures as always are awesome. I love the fluffy white egret in a salad bowl especially. :-)
So green!!
Great set of pictures from the wetlands. :)
I love the roseate spoonbill.
Worth a Thousand Words
Lovely! Hope you have a fantastic week!
Great photos of the Florida wildlife but my favourite has to be the spoonbill.
This is such an interesting place! I would be a bit afraid about the alligator but I think I can handle my fear. My husband is the one who would love this place.
Hello!:) Wonderful collection of wildlife photos taken in the Glades. It's just teaming with wildlife of every description, and a joy to see. The Roseate Spoonbill, and Gallinule, are colourful sights.
Oh wow...loved seeing your wonderful photos. Would love to be there and sunning myself as well. The waffle house made me smile. haha. Thanks for sharing.

It looks like the kind of place that I would love to visit! You captured some interesting critters.
Gorgeous photos Sharon! Yes, it looks like a perfectly wonderful place to enjoy nature. Those are Beauty Berries by the way.
You sure found lots to photograph. All are wonderful, but I'm partial to the spoonbill and the egret. Happy Wednesday!
Wow - what fantastic shots. Love that mossy croc!
Love love love it all. And come on down, pretty hair and all ...In our ‘resort’ the boomers who are never going to get old are beginning to outnumber us elderly Qtips. (I used to be a young retiree ...but that was a few years ago).
I saw my first Roseate Spoonbill a few years back at J.N. Ding Darling Sanctuary on Sanibel. I've never been much of a bird watcher but wow, it was so cool! Love your photos!
I'm always amazed at the abundance and diversity of Florida critters! Great pics!!
Beautiful photos. Thanks for taking us along on your photo walk.
A stunning set of photographs. There's so many wonderful birds and animals in your collection.
Nice! I especially like the baby alligators. I don't know why people would be afraid of them?
Wow some absolutely amazing photos here! Love the birds!
I can't tell you how happy your post makes me feel. I was feeling a little stressed but after seeing all of the Glades wildlife, up close and personal I feel so much better! Love the alligator wearing weeds.
Yet another grouping of gorgeous photos Sharon!
