Erna Nixon Park

We've had some pretty nice weather here recently (temps in the 70's & low humidity), so I grabbed my infrared camera and visited a local park for a couple hours.   Erna Nixon Park (no relation, that I know of) is a nice little 54 acre community park in Melbourne, Florida.  It has a 1/2 mile hiking trail, most of which is on a boardwalk though a natural Florida hammock.  Like most hiking in Florida, the trail is flat and easy to walk.  Though it offers many photographic opportunities, from cabbage palms to large oak trees with hanging moss.  In fact the day I was there, about a dozen artists were in the park from a local painting club.
