Sub-Tropical Jungle
It's a jungle out there! This shot shows you how wild vegetation can get in Miami. Left untouched (meaning untrimmed) growth can be substantial over time. Along this fence are sugar apples, longans, mango and avocado trees, all competing for growth. The fruit trees dwarf the 5 foot heliconia bush at the lower left, and these trees were trimmed just two years ago.
When I see such wildness I always think about the first peoples who traveled and lived on our earth, leaving the vegetation undisturbed, somehow making their livings in unity with the great Mother Earth.
