Miami Lakes

This is the view from the back of the house, where we are staying. This is sunrise on our first morning here - Lake Martha was so still, creating a picture postcard reflection. The following day it was pinker, but the water was not still.

Miami Lakes is a beautiful suburb in the north of Miami, away from all the towering blocks of downtown Miami, the crowded beaches and marinas. Here, you give way to ducks, which wander around the streets surrounding the lakes and there is a hefty fine for hitting one with your car.

This family of 14 ducklings had three light ones, amongst the other dark ones. They must only be a week or so old, but their parents had left them to scavenge on the bank.
