A nice walk in the Florida woods in this beautiful little preserve on the campus of FIU — Florida International University in my city Miami. Disappointed that there were no animals, even birds and a still it is great to be in nature. The great English Romantic poet Wordsworth wrote in one of his poems: It is not that I don’t love Man, it is that I love nature more.”
