Anchor between two cannons (All three are from the Urca de Lima Spanish treasure ship destroyed by a hurricane in July 1715 and recoverd off north Hutchison Island.)
[Two rusted cannons sitting on white support structures on either side of a rusted anchor propped at an angle.]

Lake Okeechobee - Florida

Water level control inlet for the lake
[A wide shallow stream with a line of orange bouys across it in the foreground and a bridge in the middle ground. There are stones lining both sides of the water inlet.]

Lake Okeechobee is 730 square miles with an average depth of 9 feet.
[Edge of a very flat shallow lake. There is greenery growing in clumps even a distance away from the shore.]

Savannas Preserve State Park - Port Saint Lucie, Florida

Savannas Preserve State Park
[A section of water with grasses growing through the water around the edge and in a clump in the middle. There is one very tall slash pine in the distance with a number of shorter trees in a row with it.]

Trails are color-coded. This is part of the white trail so I looked for posts with white rectangles near the top of the post. (Two are visible in this image as the trail heads to the left.)
[A wide beaten-down section of grass heads down the middle of the image. About mid-distance in the photo is a brown post with a white rectangle. Another white rectangle is visible above the grass to the left of the middle post.]

Great blue heron flying across the park.
[This is a flat section of land with only a few trees by the water's edge. A great blue heron has its wings above its body as it soars approximately 20-30 feet over the water.]

Water vegetation
[Green and orange lily pads each with a little pie-cut section missing floating on the dark water.]

Sign near the canoe launch
[Sign on a fence at the decking overlooking the water which says,

Biscayne National Park - Homestead, Florida
December 6, 2008

View at the end of the walkway (95% of the park is water.)
[Lots of birds standing on small rocks in the bay.]

Double-crested cormorant
[This web-footed bird stands at the edge of a dock. The back (closest to face) part of its bill is orange while the rest is tan. It has a mostly black-grey body with a white stomach and a light-grey neck.]
