Island under the Sun

We continued our tropical discovery with a trip to Florida Keys. Lots of these little beautiful islands contain secrets of nature.
The Lignumvitae Key Botanical State Park is a little treasure with a huge variety of trees:
Tropical hardwood hammocks…Holywood Lignum-vitae (Guaiacum sanctum), False Mastic (Sideroxylon foetidisimum), Florida Strangler Fig (Ficus aurea), Poisonwood (Metopium toxiferum), Pigeonplum (Coccoloba diversifolia) and Gumbo-limbo (Bursera simaruba).
Finally, we said Hello to the amazing dolphins at the Dolphins Research Center.
