Grassy Waters Preserve
West Palm Beach, Florida

As I am sure you know, Florida is a different climate than New York. But I like to notice how different that makes things down there. Different climate–different air, different land, different water. Different everything. I love to visit places that contrast my home in every way possible and be suspended within the newness. Wetlands preserves exemplify this penchant. It’s like walking through a science text book–sensually fascinating and enriching. So here are the text features, images and captions, from today’s science text: Grassy Waters Preserve in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Ok first here is a little aggressive critter that greeted me upon opening the car door. The Sciurus carolinensis of asphalt feeds on heavily processed crunchy snacks from Homo sapiens.

Flowers grow in the water.

The sun shines in the mud.

Leaves share the air, share the water. How would a human mutate in order to acquire its basic needs in a competitive world? Hmmmm

Skinny trees because: function

Rockin’

Grassy waters–part solid/part liquid

Holding water

Stroll

Earth’s artistic elements at play

Nothing more soothing than a world that is fine without you.
