Florida Photography

Gardens of Florida Gardens flourish in the sultry heat and humidity in Florida, especially the sub-tropical southern half of the state. The climate fosters riotous growth, which makes for beautifully lush landscapes. Nineteen Florida oases are featured here in all their brilliant, colourful glory. Almost two hundred gorgeous photographs are accompanied by extraordinarily evocative descriptions of the gardens and their histories. Florida Photography.

The Florida Keys: The Natural Wonders of an Island Paradise (Pictorial Discovery Guide) Those who think of the Florida Keys as miles of sandy beaches have much to learn about the southern Florida archipelago. Each year, about four million people visit the Florida Keys, a 150-mile chain of tropical islands known for its diving, seagrass beds, mysterious mangrove forests, lush hardwood hammocks, rocky pinelands, and both fresh and saltwater wetlands, but not miles of sandy beaches. This book explores the extraordinary beauty of this ecological treasure in stunning colour photographs as well as threats of over-development and pollution. Chapter topics include formation of the area, geology, impact of climate, ocean currents and hurricanes, living things in each ecosystem, and human impact. Florida Photography.
