Pictures from the local canals

Like a lot of developments in Florida, the builder came in and dug canals all over the area to be able to increase the number of waterfront lots to sell.  This area is certainly no different.  David went out exploring by dinghy and got some great shots.  Hopefully the next post will be from Marathon!  Enjoy.

The canals are covered in mangrove trees.  The developer was smart enough to leave them.
There few bridges in this section but it did make a dramatic backdrop in the calm water.

Being man-made, the canals are arrow straight.

You can see just how protected the canals are from the wind.  It was blowing
a steady 15 kts. outside but the water was picture perfect calm.

Make sure and click to enlarge this one.  The ibises were all over.

How long these roots become is always a thing of beauty.

More mirror calm water.

Head to the light.......

A fitting end to a stormy day.
