Some cool Water Conservation images:
Area 2

In several small sections of Shelter Island, Spanish Landing Park, and Harbor Drive – where turf grass had to be heavily irrigated – pocket gardens of water-saving plants now reside.
The vibrant red-leafed and purple-flowered plants line five walkways near Cancer Survivors Park, entrances to traffic circles at Shelter Island and adjacent to the Friendship Bell, and a bus stop area near the Coast Guard Facility.

View this in large size. Composite of 5 images, looking out to the west over the wetlands from the levee trail. The South Florida Water Management District has performed some rare maintenance on the wetlands near our home. They cleared the high grass along the 193rd Avenue levee and removed many small trees and shrubs that were growing along the canal. This really improved the sight distance, as the vegetation made it very difficult to auto-focus on Bobcats and other critters, even when they were quite nearby. It also opens the view over the wetlands on the opposite (west) side of the trail. Now, if they could get rid of those Melaleuca trees that have sprung up since the last time they cleared them out, about 6 or 7 years ago!
