Wow...an ancient thread that I don't recall having seen before. Glad it's been bumped up. Here's some shots from in and around my home area of Boca Raton, Florida:
Our beaches:
Intercoastal waterways and ocean access:
Lifeguard stand:
Mangroves along the coast:
Mizner Center, a shopping/restaurant/residential district in the center of town:
Morikami Japanese gardens and Museum:
Friendly neighborhood green iguanas...they're everywhere!:
On the west end of town are the Everglades:
Filled with plenty of these:
BIG ones:
We're lucky enough to see the shuttle launching into space from our backyards:
Our iconic 5-star hotel resort, and the 'Boca Bay', a wide section of the intercoastal waterway:
Summer hot and swampy foggy nights:
And beautiful sunsets right in the front yard:
That's a little taste of Boca Raton Florida, and surrounding scenery!
