Took this shot while at a red light - having the camera with me where ever I go has certainly decreased boredom and urgency while waiting at traffic lights - of course, some of the other drivers may be thinking I'm crazy! Air plants are pretty prolific around here. They are small clusters, rather than the hanging pendants of Spanish moss, their closely related cousin. Both are epiphytes, not parasites - but it is not necessarily a mutually beneficial relationship between the plants and the trees...reminds me of some human mis-matches! ;) But on this Valentine's Day, I'll focus on the the positive characteristics of relationships! :) Goodlette-Frank Rd & U.S. 41 E, Naples, FL
