This location is the beautiful Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary. It houses some of the oldest cypress trees in Florida, beautiful ghost orchids (have you seen Adaptation? Please go watch it!) and a myriad of amazing wild life and plant species. In addition, they have a Living Machine! So nifty.
I had so much fun walking around the lovely boardwalk and geeking out over all the different lichen. Do you know about lichen? They're a symbiotic composite organism composed of fungi and cyanobacteria (sometimes photosynthetic algae too). Some are very intricate and beautiful.
Happy Wednesday all!
Love the cat tights!! Been eyeing those for a while now.

Aren't classes that have field trips the best?! I just went on a field trip yesterday to Discovery World (which I'll post about later). I think taking field trips and getting to go outside is why I love studying Environmental Science. It's the absolute best!!!
ReplyDeleteActually, your pictures here remind me of my own trip to the Cedarburg Bog in Wisconsin. But I would love to see those really old cypres. =D
Ahhh, that reminds me of my fishing trips when I lived in FL. We always fished at a park that had a long walkway like that. Beautiful photos ♥
ReplyDeleteI love the cat tights and the pretty scenery! My boyfriend is a fan of Adaptation, (and Being John Malkovich), but I haven't seen it yet! And we just learned about lichens today in my biology class!

Indeed the photos are SO pretty - this area is beautiful. I have no idea what lichen is, but I also was awful at bio in high school. It's the one thing I ever had trouble with really. And your tights! Sooooo cute - love them.
