La mangrovia è una formazione vegetale (o forestale), costituita da piante prevalentemente legnose, che si sviluppa sui litorali bassi delle coste marine tropicali, in particolare nella fascia periodicamente sommersa dalla marea.

I love sunsets and sunrises. The weather on Xmas day was exceptional in South Florida. This particular shot is a HDR composite taken approximately 20-25 minutes after the sun set below the horizon. The colors just kept getting brighter with every minute. Some of you may recognize the location. It is Everglades Holiday Park, home of the TV reality series on Animal Planet appropriately named "Gator Boys." For those wondering, the answer is "YES," a few of the critters were lurking close by, unnerving avid photographers. In reality, the mosquitoes were more pesky than the gators.

Purple Gallinule (Porphyrio martinicus) Everglades National Park Florida, USA

A beautifully colored bird of southern and tropical wetlands, the Purple Gallinule can be see walking on top of floating vegetation or clambering through dense shrubs. Its extremely long toes help it walk on lily pads without sinking. (Copied from Cornell Lab of Ornithology).

The wonderful colours and detail of this Snowy Egret are well shown here. They are great birds to watch and mostly unconcerned when in close contact with humans.

"Little by little the night turns around

Counting the leaves which tremble at dawn

Lotuses lean on each other in yearning

Under the eaves the swallow is resting

Set the controls for the heart of the sun.”.

Captured this image of a Green Heron in the Florida Everglades. They are usually seen in the underbrush making it difficult to achieve separation.

Capture made while visiting the southern area of the Everglades.

Everglades Surprise - Monthly competition at our local club - I chose to make a monochrome image that was not black & white. Used the "Split Tone" sliders in Lightroom. Setting the Highlights to the same color (number) as the Shadow gives a true monochrome image with no intermediate shades of gray. This photo was shot in the Everglades.
