The good news is that just the opposite is the case. We see new landscaping or birds every day or we see a familiar view in new lighting (early morning or late evening) that gives the view an entirely different look. The lighting can create a thousand different shades of green. The grass, the golf courses, the plants, the trees, the birds, and the alligators make every trip interesting.
We are also amazed at the amount of landscaping and the incredible effort needed to maintain it. There must be millions of landscaping plants. Once planted, there seems to be an army of people trimming each and every plant. It is also fun to see all the landscaping on the thousands of homes since each is different.
When you are out and about in your golf cart, don't forget to enjoy the view - each and every trip.

Thank you for this lovely post.
I once wondered if TV would yield a sameness after being ther for a while.
It is refreshing to hear that some people still marvel at how beautiful it is.
