foolin around

In what way are the picture and title tied together??

 

The swamp contains numerous islands and lakes, along with vast areas of non-forested habitat. Prairies cover about 60,000 acres of the swamp. Once forested, these expanses of marsh were created during periods of severe drought when fires burned out vegetation and the top layers of peat. The prairies harbor a variety of wading birds: herons, egrets, ibises, cranes, and bitterns.

 

Native Americans inhabited Okefenokee Swamp as early as 2500 B.C.

 

Peoples of the Deptford Culture, the Swift Creek Culture and the Weeden Island Culture occupied sites within the Okefenokee. The last tribe to seek sanctuary in the swamp were the Seminoles.

 

Troops led by General Charles R. Floyd during the Second Seminole War, 1838-1842, ended the age of native americans in the Okefenokee.

 

(Answer to the above question - I posted this picture upside down. The dark brown color created by the tannic acid, which is released from decaying vegetation, makes the water's surface miror-like)
