Having just returned from a week in sunny, warm Florida (NOT!), I will soon be posting a number of what I like to refer to as "non-traditional travel photos." I am particularly fond of the 1/8th-mile long wall of graffiti I happened upon in Gainesville. My host simply dropped me off by the start of the wall and went shopping, while I spent the time taking gabillions of shots of the wall. That was cool. We also walked in Ravine Gardens, a small state park in Palatka. Not the best time of year in Florida for the brilliant things, like azaleas and the like, but the area was beautiful with other things, such as palms, air potatoes (equivalent to our buckthorn, maybe?), bamboo (like our honeysuckle?) and streams and lily-pad ponds. Okay, lots of undesirable invasives, but exotic to my northern sensibilities. I have never seen so much bamboo and so tall! They are removing it by the truckload.
Stay tuned. They are downloaded, but I'm still digging out from the effects of a week's vacation.
