Sawgrass Marshland, Amelia Island, FL - We photographed three more lighthouses in northern Florida, but I hesitate to duplicate this day with more of the same. As we were photographing the Amelia Island light, we entered the Fort Clinch Park for a better view. Walking out to one of the viewpoints at the edge of the forest, I gazed out on this large expanse of sawgrass. Much of the southeastern coastal areas consist of this sawgrass marshland, which sustains a high concentration of fish, reptiles, amphibians and waterfowl. This time of year, though, many of the birds are elsewhere, but it's not uncommon to see an occasional egret or great blue heron wading around fishing. With the exception of the cacophony of tree frogs, the area seemed devoid of life. What struck me in this picture was the multiple hues of grasses, as well as the subtle diagonal water channels.
