This sign seems to be permanent, letting everyone know that when the road floods it is covered with salt water, not fresh. Wonder what that might do to the electronics of modern cars? There was also a sign warning of alligators in the nearby pond, and prohibiting fishing and pets...
Areas like this show the part of Miami which is not subdivisions and malls. These trees are still recovering from the hurricane, with less leafy growth than normal, but they arch gracefully over the roadway.
These trees are also still recovering from the hurricanes, which stripped leaves and small twigs from the branches as well as breaking branches off. In some places there are roots coming down from nothing, since the branches they were attached to are gone.
The birds were all around us at Matheson Hammocks Marina on Biscayne Bay in Miami. Here pelicans have taken over a hurricane damaged boat docked not far from us.
Here, a cormorant rests on the pulpit of a hurricane damaged sailboat. Cormorants, like pelicans, gulls and terns, were all around us, making a mess of the boats they favoured, usually those on which they were undisturbed. However the cormorants and gulls were willing to rest anywhere, given the chance.
We watched the Fort Lauderdale Christmas Boat Parade, complete with fireworks from a barge leading the parade as it moved along the ICW.
Each time we visited our boat in the marina we saw one or more of these Night Herons in the mangroves by the docks.
