Wall Springs Park's lush Black Mangroves are indeed in full bloom here in beautiful Palm Harbor Florida.

The red mangroves are the ones that grow with their feet, called prop roots, totally in the salt water of the inlets and bayous. Those prop roots have given the red mangrove the nickname of 'walking tree' (photo below).

I thought that might get your attention! This sea turtle over Crystal Beach Florida has spent the last couple of years up on this balcony, watching people walking by below.
