Emerson Point Preserve, Palmetto, FL
To enter this place and first come upon these lovely Oaks and grand vistas is a wonderful sight. To continue on into the edges of this place and find scenery that is still filled with nature and beauty is a wonderful experience. I only touched the surface. Have much more exploring to do. More work that I think shows what natural Florida is.
Enjoy the trip into the Oaks filled with Spanish Moss, The sand strewn trails among the mangroves and the kayak launch in the shade.

Not sure which of these image treatments I like better for the Oaks and moss!!

I tried quite a few different things on these images. If you think anything really works, or really doesn't work, please let me know. I'm just a Yankee amongst the mangroves trying to share the visions the best way possible. :)
