Today we visited the west side of Everglades. We took a boat tour through the mangrove forest. This area wasn’t swampy at all – not what we expected to see. In fact, we saw no alligators, turtles, or snakes. There was a possibility we could have seen a manatee, but no luck. Our only wildlife sightings were birds – lots and lots of birds.
We briefly thought renting an RV and staying here would be a nice way to pass the winter…Can you image this as your backyard?
We went down a very narrow area in the mangroves. It really was beautiful, but the pictures don’t do it justice.
It’s always interesting how animals are perfectly suited for their environment. Can you see the heron in this picture? He really blends in with the mangroves.
It was a nice day for a boat ride – loving this warm weather. In fact, even at 7pm we were driving with the window down in short sleeves.
