Florida Cypress Swamp Winter scene by SusansZooCrew

A picture taken in a St. Lucie County, Florida cypress swamp. This is what a Florida winter looks like! Cypress are one of the few trees that drop their leaves here in Florida in the winter. This was taken in an undeveloped area, so this is the "real" Florida.

Footprints in beach sand blue ocean in back by SusansZooCrew

Florida has many beautiful beaches. This is a scene from Fort Pierce, FL after I had walked down to the water..when I came back out I saw the footprints I left and took this shot! Florida east coast beaches have a different sand than other coasts, perfect for footprints and sandcastles.
