1. gorgeous! it’s been years and years since i’ve seen a cypress swamp. thanks for giving me a great nostalgic trip back to the South! z

   • Oh you are so welcome! 🙂

2. Beautiful! Love the soft muted colors and the shades of grey along with the fantastic texture.

   • When I saw this theme on the list there was sort of a groan inside me – who would have thought a walk down alligator alley would be so fulfilling.

3. The tones and the vertical lines are wonderful.

   • It pleases me to know that what I saw translated so well in this image.

4. Fabulous photo PC! I really like the colours.

   • Thank you so much – grays and greens do make pleasing partners.

5. It is hard to remember that the aim was, to drain the swamp, when you are up to your armpits in Alligators.

   • I haven’t even shared the gator pics yet, lol.

6. This looks like a very spooky place, love all that spanish moss caressing the tree trunks.

   • Certainly not a place to be after the sun sets.

7. Very cool…i love this! It almost looks like a painting!

13. Stunning. It almost looks like a water color.

    • Well thank you Sandy! So glad you enjoyed the view.

14. Oh I would love to walk with you through here! Beautiful image, the moss is amazing! I was in Savannah in the Fall and loved the moss! Chiggers ..not so much lol

    • Thank you Sue! Had to laugh about your Chiggers, they are bothersome even with insect repellent!

    • Other worldly is a perfect description for this idyllic place I never grow tired of visiting this reserve.

16. That picture takes me right into the swamp. Beautiful. I really love those faded, earthly colours and the contrast between the delicate reflections and the sturdy trees.
