Opening this to read tomorrow morning -- I spent a week reinvigorating myself in the Everglades last month ... before that, god yes I was feeling "nature-deprived." Did you know that the tree islands in the Everglades, created by little mounds with just a few inches of elevation, are surrounded by moats? The moats get started in a process that I don't fully understand but it involves the decomposition of the trees themselves -- and when fires sweep through the Glades, the moats protect the tree islands and they survive. Also I saw many baby owls. EDIT: this is apparently my 500th day on hubski. To 500 more! I'd drink, but there's a power outage and I can't find my kitchen.
