Prevailing Wind
Prevailing Wind
A steady wind acts as a sculptor, directing branches and canopy into elegant shapes.
These creations though can be fragile in the face of the hurricanes that lash this coast more frequently and stronger as the oceans warm. Each year we wonder what changes the winds will bring.

Wonderland
Wonderland
Along one of the city's busiest thoroughfares there are still remnants of what was.
Most bear signs 'zoned for development, will build to suit!'
For many the the heavy equipment has already flattened the land and removed the visages of before.
Here and there though, remnants of the earlier wonderland remain.
Defiant, young trees reclaim what was forest and field.
Nature is ever hopeful.
UPDATE:
this scene is no more, the bulldozers have done their work, and a new strip mall is being built.

Dancing On The Edge
Trees and under story growth dance on the edge of the marsh, toes dipped into the rich moist silt. The supple reeds bow and rustle their approval. Wildlings watch the show from their homes hidden from prying predatory eyes. The marsh is a nourishing safe haven.
Salt marshes on the oceans edge, are called the cradle of the sea. A huge percentage of ocean based life is born or hatched in the marsh. Inland marshes share a similar role of incubator and safe haven.
The worlds marshes, fens and swamps are some of the most misunderstood and therefore endangered habitats in the world.
Drained to farm - they provide rich soil, drained for mosquito control, drained to build on, filled in for all of the above... once gone they are not replaceable. Wetlands the world over teeter on the edge of destruction.

Saw Palmetto and Old Oak
Spread your arms and dance with the wind. Sometimes swaying gently, other times appearing ready to leap from the ground. Elegant partners dancing through the decades, creating their own music.
Live Oaks are a icon for durability, centuries old they have endured much change and hopefully will continue the dance into the future with their lithe companions the Saw Palmetto.

Tor
Tor, Celtic hill fort, an ancient place of safety, now a place of peace and dreams, surrounded by fields of wild daffodils, and grazing sheep. If only all battle grounds could be this way.
