All flowers are wonderful and beautiful, but my favorite one is this wildflower, the passiflora. Every year from May to August I always go to the park to check and admire these beauties. Took this photo under the sun at more than 95 degrees. My camera and lens were so hot while taking the pictures that have to turn off the camera to cool it down.
(Spanish: Todas las flores son hermosas de por si, pero mi favorita es esta maravillosa flor silvestre, la Passiflora. Todos los años las voy a visitar y ver como se encuentran, están todas bellas y hermosas. Mientras tomaba esta foto bajo el sol la temperatura estaba a casi 40 grados y mi cámara y lente se calentaron tanto que no podia sujetarla y la tuve que apagar para refrescarla).

When examining close the new Florida woodlands, you will find a lot of fallen trees. Tropical storms and hurricanes are the main culprits; when wind and a lot of rainfall combine with the heavyweight of trees on sandy ground with no rocks, then the conditions are perfect for trees to fall. Every 25 years Florida gets hit by more than 85 storms and Florida trees can range from 2 tons to over 20 tons.
(Spanish: Cuando examinamos los bosques de Florida encontramos muchos arboles caídos. Las tormentas tropicales y huracanes son los culpables. Pues cuando se combinan vientos fuertes con mucha lluvia sobre terrenos arenosos sin rocas; el peso grande de los arboles cederá la caída. Cada 25 años Florida pasa por mas de 85 tormentas y los arboles de florida pueden ser de 2 toneladas a 20 toneladas).

If you remember from your high school biology classes, genes are given to the seed from each parent. These genes will express differently as they combine, leading to different physical characteristics in an individual. While some tree species can self-pollinate; the wind, gravity, insects, and birds are the prime distributors of tree pollen to the female flowers, which will result in seed production. This is a dandelion seed but the same principle applies to maples, pines, and most trees. (PennState, College of Agricultural Science).
(Spanish: Si recuerdas algo de la clase de Biología, los genes vienen atravez de la semilla y se expresaran diferentes en cada individuo. El viento, la gravedad, aves e insectos son los que van a traer el pollen a la flor; la cual producirá semillas. Esta es una semilla del diente de león).

A ground section of an upland hardwood forest populated by big old Live oak trees. You can see here most of the elements of this ancient forest, fallen dry leaves, Spanish moss, small branches, and a typical plant or vine; components that will enrich the soil.
(Spanish: Una pequeña sección del suelo de un bosque de cedros viejos. Aquí vemos los elementos principales del area, hojas caídas, musgo español y plantas nativas. Todo esto enriquece el terreno).
