Florida's Mangroves

I've been thinking about mangroves. I grew up on Tampa Bay, and we had mangroves growing right around our dock. They are amazing trees - apparently they're also called "walking" trees because of the way they grow - their roots extend and then basically a new "trunk" grows. The ones I know are only about as big around as my forearm, but that's still pretty impressive. I think my next piece will incorporate my friends the mangroves. (see pic)
