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.
