I was in Southwest Florida a few weeks ago, it looked more like late April than early February (the dry season gets drier and hotter in the springtime before the rainy season starts in May).

I miss the smell of burning palm trees and the life that comes up afterwards, but I do wish the folks at the Dade-Collier airport had responsible adults in charge.
