There is only one Everglades in the World.

I make it a ritual to visit the

Everglades

National Park

every Sunday. It is the largest subtropical wilderness in the

United States

. There’s a 15 mile paved road that exposes you to many rare species. The area possesses extraordinary and endangered species, such as the American crocodile,

Florida

panther, White cotton-tail deer and West Indian manatee. It is the center for Native heritage site as well as an International Biosphere Reserve.

I enjoy being out there with nothing but myself, my bike and nature. I’m often asked where I get my inspirations and the answer is always nature. The amazing color palette and form causes euphoria of design perfection. I was visited by a friend who’s birthday feel last week and I thought what better gift then the experience of wildlife viewing. Living in a city can really make you appreciate the natural wildlife and tranquility. So off we went on our 15 mile adventure.

A quarter ways through we were blessed with a miracle, a rare site of three doe frolicking around each other. We slowly tried to get closer for a clear picture shot, but for fear of spooking them we paused where we stood and tried our luck with our picture.

Then a cyclist was coming up behind us, and we waved at him to slow down! Can you believe he speeded up and scared the three beauties off!!!! I mean we are in a wildlife reserve! I was so fuming the whole ride! If people want to be that insensitive with the wildlife for the sake of a workout then ride on Key Biscayne! Besides that unfortunate turn of events the rest of the ride was smooth and we saw many crocodiles, birds, turtles, and much more.

If you guys have a wildlife reserve around you…go out and enjoy them. It really nurtures an inner peace inside you. Which refuels the creative energy; at least for me. Well my friends off for another adventure…
