MIAMI SUBURBS & THE EVERGLADES - Dec. 3, 2004.


Plymouth Congregational Church in Coconut Grove.


Coral Way in Coral Gables. I wish I lived on a street
that looked like this...


The Biltmore Hotel. Not that exciting, really.


Everglades swimmy turtle. I believe that's the actual
scientific name, too.


Everglades loungy alligator. This particular one
just happened to be lounging about ten feet from the
trail. A little freaky, but also? Way cool.


Everglades swimmy alligator. Not to be confused with
the loungy alligator or the swimmy turtle, of course.
Because that would be silly.


Boardwalk through wackily tangled mangrove forest...


...and out onto a lake.


More mangroves (yes, I like them, okay?), whose roots
turn the water a reddish color.


Pinelands. Another habitat.


Sawgrass prairie. Yet another habitat.


Ginormous hotel room. Still another habitat.
