South Florida Sights

I sure enjoyed the gulf coast & keys but there's lots more to see so here are some last looks at South Florida.
Stormy weather left lots of shells on the beach in Fort Myers.








Cormorant in Fort Myers Beach





Matlache - home of artists and great ice cream.
Sanibel Island




Giant Bald Cypress in Fakahatchee Strand (central Everglades). These trees are hundreds of years old and the preferred nest sites for the endangered Wood Stork.



Wood Storks have personality-plus! They fly with their neck & legs extended - pretty cool looking.



Sunset at 10,000 Islands National Preserve (western Everglades)






Corkscrew Audubon Sanctuary - home to 400 year old cypress trees and nesting Wood Storks.







Long Key State Park - the view from our campsite was never dull.
