Scholarly Canal

This is one of the two canals running through the University of Miami main campus, both connecting to lake Osceola. This is in the South end and it runs along the School of Business Administration. If you spend the time looking around here, you will see aquatic lives in form of small crabs, fish and smaller creatures. Some ducks make this their visiting place too. Thankfully, no gators that I can ever detect in this water, the level of which is quite low due to a long standing drought here. In a few more weeks, these swooping branches will be carrying crimson royal poinciana flowers. The seed pods are from last year's activities.

That's just gorgeous.Without the gators of course.

Thanks to your photos I can be in Miami, at least in some way - they are great! I can almost feel and smell the air..

I posted that canal in my blog of Tuesday, October 23, 2007. The pictures are very different but it's the same canal. It is a beautiful campus.
