Wolf Lake


Wolf Lake is located on 76th Avenue between Griffin and Stirling Roads in Davie. I discovered it this morning when I was out looking for Australian pine trees to take pictures of ... because they are an invasive exotic species, I needed a photo to show to my students during discussions of exotic plants. And, lo and behold! Here was a place shaded by these viscious pines that seems totally removed from the craziness of living with 1.7 million other people.
It was actually peaceful and quiet, as you see in the photo. There was a mama Muscovy duck and her little ducklings for company, so I wasn't completely alone.
