Thanks for your comments.

(1) Dani, for me, I have always been captivated by its hydrology. The interaction of earth, sky, and water makes this place a hydrologist’s paradise, especially during the summer wet season when the water takes center stage. But it’s a tough nut to crack too (in a good way). I consider it a back (and more accessible) door to the Everglades.
