This is another of my paintings from Blackpoint Wildlife Drive in Titusville, FL.  This is one of the
creeks along the side of the raised dirt roads.  It shows the mangroves that are plentiful in this
park.  I was attracted to this view by the reflections in the water from the tree-lined road and the
color of the fall foliage.  It was created in the early spring and the foliage still has it's winter colors.  The mangroves are just recovering from the winter freezes.  The breeze has picked up
in the afternoon and is ruffling the creek's surface.
