Thank you, Orlando! Yes, nature heals the soul. After living in Florida seeing alligators everywhere, you kinda get used to them. Although we always are cautious around them. They are in most ponds, even in residential areas. We once had a 6 foot long alligator in our backyard for 3 days! Then an alligator catcher came and caught him to release elsewhere.

I am so glad you got some inner peace and healing in this lovely place during the difficult time of your life Liesl. i agree, adventure feeds the soul, and for me nature heals the soul. it reminds one the connection one have with the universe and the larger world, and suddenly all personal problem became so small… you are so brave to hang out in areas where there is alligators!! i don't think i could do that at all :D

Thank you, Rainbow! I appreciate your kind comments so much! This one made me laugh! No Tarzan or monkeys in this park, but definitely alligators and birds! I have to be careful at times on the trails because you never know when you might see an alligator. On the day I took this photo, it was during a very difficult time in my life, and the peacefulness and serenity in this place was very healing. So quiet except for the birds chirping. Exploring and photography have been therapeutic. And I am thankful to have had the opportunity to see many places. I've learned to seize the day, life is short. Adventure feeds the soul!

Oh Liesl, it is so nice to be you, you got to go to marvellous places to take photos and enjoy the beauty of our planet in first hand, i am so envy!! this image is super sensational and refreshing!! i am expecting to see Tarzan flying around with the monkeys and animal friends!! such appealing and charismatic composition!! it is honestly very healing to just meditate on this beautiful image!! very magical, very charming!!

Thank you, Sharon, Phyllis, Kay, and Pamela, I appreciate your comments!
