I traveled inland from the coast to take pictures of the pinewoods upland area. I was trying to get a jump start on a class I will be taking in March about the Florida Uplands. This will be my final class for the Florida Master Naturalist Program. I took many photos but found myself enjoying the hammock area more than the uplands. I guess it is hard to take the coastal hammock plants out of my camera lens. There were only a handful of people in the woods that day. It just so happened that one was an old classmate of mine, Brenda. We both participated in a trip to the Amazon as part of our studies. It is always great seeing Brenda. She is full of all things positive. She also happens to be the Executive Director of the non-profit land we were on. (They are lucky to have someone like Brenda and her passion for all things wild) If you find yourself inland and want a quiet walk in the woods, I recommend CREW Land & Water Trust.

Beautiful! I've always wanted to take the naturalist series. A friend of mine is taking them now, and I am so jealous, but it would be a long commute from michigan!
You got some great shots - I like the spider web one the best.
I bet you'll be glad to get this last course under your belt. As much as I love the coast, the hammocks are my next favorite place to traipse around in. I'm loving all those air plants.
So glad you headed to the best kept secret inland - CREW! Anytime you want to explore more of CREW, let me know and I'll show you all those "special" out of the way spots. Hope to see your clan out on the CREW trails again soon.
Karen, I will very pleased to have the final class under my belt:)
I love your photos, they are gorgeous!
I tried to get in that class in Charlotte Co. but registered too late. Next time...
