Everglades National Park Florida Postcard

The Everglades, a massive tropical wetland at the southern tip of Florida, is a mosaic of sawgrass prairies and mangrove forests. While American flamingos were once rare visitors, they have become a more frequent and cherished sight in the shallow coastal flats of Florida Bay, adding a dash of brilliant coral-pink to the lush green wilderness. This 'River of Grass' is a unique ecosystem where freshwater meets the sea, supporting an incredible diversity of life from alligators to roseate spoonbills. The lighting in the Glades is legendary, with heavy, humid clouds often parting to reveal intense shafts of sunlight that illuminate the dark, tannin-stained waters.
