When I think of my home state, it isn't beaches and theme parks that come to mind. It's this vibrant, swampy, Old Florida scenery.
It's cypress trees draped in spanish moss. It's thickets of palmettos and the sound of wailing limpkins, with the occasional splash of a jumping fish or startled alligator.
And it's absolutely these kinda endless reflections of blue sky and columns of cumulus clouds across muddy waters, naturally fed by the aquifer and a wealth of underground springs.
This one system of lakes and winding canals is home to tons of wildlife, including 367 unique species of birds alone. This is the native swampland we need to protect from big agriculture and over development.

"River's Bend," 2018 by Charles Morgan (1929-2023)
Oil on canvas, 30 inches by 15 inches.
This is the painter's memory of the St. John's River in Florida, circa 1940s, when deer and panthers still roamed there.

Apalach porch fest. The small town has folks play their music from porches. Folks go from place to place on bikes and golf carts. Fifteen stages dotted throughout town.
