Swift Creek
Swift Creek is a tributary of the Suwannee River near White Springs, FL. Its namesake is apparent to anyone who visits it, as its water frequently races down a deep (for Florida) limestone gorge into the Suwannee. I had visited this one less than a month before this shot when the water was much higher and the light was poor. I anticipated being able to photograph this one in a long exposure racing through its channel. What I didn't anticipate were the rapids that were revealed at low water in this creek, numerous ones in the last 100 yards before its confluence with the Suwannee and even more upstream. I even found a small spring flowing through the karst, pictures of which I will share later.
