        My husband and I got in the boat and finally got out on the lake for pictures.

                Too gorgeous, Kathryn! I love them all. If I were shooting there, I think I wouldn’t know where to start. What a breathtakingly beautiful place.

                Just fabulous Kathryn – I think nos. 2 and 4 are my favourites, but they’re all amazing and beautiful. What a peaceful looking place.

                    how very surreal!! I bet Nina would adore these!!
                    I have never seen trees like this..what are they?
                    I thought these swamps were spooky places..alive with alligators and snakes and stuff!!
                    awesomely still reflections..my fave is the 4th…like on another planet!:clap:

                            Hey I like ’em all. I love this place. Can’t pick between #2 and #4 as a favourite and #5 follows close behind.

                                    What fantastic trees these are. WOW thanks for going into the boat. Was there any aligators?

                                        Good shots all….I especially like the ones with the shack in.

                                        Looks like everywhere you turned there was something to shoot.

                                        thanks for sharing.

                                            Thanks everyone for looking and commenting. There are alligators in the swamp, but it isn’t often that anyone sees one. In dry years they do migrate, we live about a mile and a half from the lake and two years in a row we had them show up in our pond. One was 11 feet long the others were babies.

                                            Those are Cypress Trees and in the fall they turn a nice orange/red and the contrast is breathtaking. In places where the water is low you will get the classic Cypress Knees….I will get some pictures of that when the mosquitos aren’t as bad!!!!

                                            Oh, and I didn’t see not one snake, either. But they are there and they are very dangerous….Water Moccasins.

                                            And, yes, Veronica…it is a very peaceful place.
