Description

Peaceful Waters Sanctuary is in Wellington, Florida, a city known for its equestrian farms. It is an amazing boardwalk through wetlands filled with birds, rabbits, otters, and of course alligators. This unique location allows you to go off the boardwalk to get a closer look at the variety of plants and flowers. It had just rained, and the sun was beginning to set when I saw this amazing field of Water Hyacinths known for its peacock like markings and color. This one was sitting alone surrounded by beautiful curvy leaves happy in solitude.
