Even in a vast area as the Everglades, Florida, there are
environmental influences (i.p. surrounding agriculture), which disturb the
balanced ecosystem and reduce biodiversity. I'm glad to at least think
that the animals that live there, don't notice ;-).
It seemed to me that the alligators, iguanas and lizards were
relaxed and enjoyed the sun and that the elegant egrets, herons, ibises and
ospreys waited quietly for a big fish to swim along. Apart from these wonderful
sights we were very lucky to see some raccoons and wild hogs scrabbling around
in the twilight.
Let's hope that this unique piece of earth, this national park,
with its amazing flora and fauna will be maintained and will continue to exist for a long, long time!
By means of my pictures I've at least kept some worthwhile and superb moments
to cherish in our memory...
