Three baby alligators are seen sunning at the water’s edge. The top of the head of a large submerged alligator is seen on the surface of the water, surrounded by grasses. A great blue heron, with outstretched wings, is seen in flight. In the lower right corner, treetops can be seen.

A peninsular cooter turtle is resting on a log. His head and legs are stretched out to their limits. He is perfectly reflected in the water below. An expanse of large cypress tress in full foliage rises from the water. An osprey perches in a tall pine tree and huddles over a small fish it is holding in its talons and tearing to pieces with its beak.

A senior lady sits in a child’s swing in a playground. A gopher tortoise is seen from above, walking over dry pine needles and heading towards grapevines. An immature little blue heron stands on one foot, the other tucked up under him, on the limb of a mangrove tree. More mangroves are seen behind it.

An osprey stands alertly, a fish grasped in its talons, on a bare tree limb. A dense stand of tall, thin pine trees rises from a thicket of palmettos. A view of the Loxahatchee River is seen in the area where the freshwater meets the saltwater habitat. Cypress and cabbage palms are both present.

Two small tents, one in heavy shade, are seen in a tree-shaded campsite, along with a folding chair. A group of people huddle on a trail through the pine woods, bending over and looking at a flower. A group of young people, all dressed in the same type shirt and carrying notebooks, pause along a trail to listen to an adult squatting in the shade.

The sun rises through the mist over the scrub woods. The early light is thin and weak. An abstract view of sections of juxtaposed wooden boardwalks, support pieces and platforms is seen from above. A row of eight identical tents is seen in a large grassy group campsite.

A newborn alligator floats on the water’s surface, next to cattail stems and surrounded by small floating plants. A wooden boardwalk is seen from ground level as it stretches into the distance and turns to the left and begins to climb. Rental canoes and kayaks are seen piled up at the park dock. The tour boat is seen moored just beyond; behind is the Loxahatchee River.

A narrow off-road bicycle trail snakes through the pine forest. Many dead pines tower over the trail. Fog shrouds the view of the sand pine trees. A family-sized tent is pitched on a campsite. In the foreground an ax stands buried in a log. Two bicycles stand behind the tent.
