Cypress trees, their knees rising like ancient sentinels from the dark, tea-colored water, dominate the horizon, their feathery fronds creating a dappled, emerald canopy. Broad sawgrass stretches in emerald waves, broken only by the glint of slow-moving water and the occasional flash of a white egret taking flight. The terrain is flat, a subtle yielding of ground that speaks of a land shaped by water's patient, persistent work.
