Seeking shade on this hot summer day and found a bit of relief... as well as a sprig of poinciana blooms. There is a delicate relationship between our natural environment and the needs of humankind - photography can bridge the extremes. Unfortunately, some people fail to see the need to think about the consequences of their actions (nor do they tend to take responsibility for said behavior) - a lost bear cub was killed because some people chose to feed it (NBC-2)...an extreme, but also, an example. Taking a photograph would have been a much more humane way to experience the intersection between man and nature. Arthur Ashe Tennis Center, Norris Park, Naples, FL
