Rainy day on Sandfly Lane

A century ago when drawing the road/street plans in the Old Riomar area of Vero Beach (Orchid Island), the planners wisely routed Sandfly Lane around this old, giant Live Oak which has recently been determined to be a bit over 850 years old. It's the oldest and largest tree in Indian River County. This image was taken after two days of rain which shows the transient deep green of the Resurrection Fern which is usually a non-descript brownish-green. It stayed colorful for 3 days before fading to its normal hue.
