What an adventure you all had. My favorite thing is the wonderful shell composition. We lived in Naples FL for three years and loved to look for shells on Sanibel. We missed the pickings after the storms, but fun to hunt. A lot of these pictures remind me of the Florida landscape. I don't think I'd walk over an alligator's head. To me, their laziness is deceiving. :) Wonderful photographs, and the tree shapes I know will find a place in your beautiful illustrations.
