Mangrove swamp at the Buffalo Creek Reserve, East Ryde, in northern Sydney. I love swamps!!
Photographed from the mangrove boardwalk with my Canon EOS 60D and processed in Snapseed.
You can never have enough swamps!!

A bayou is a swamp, is it not?
In this video clip there is a swamp-like bayou scene! Probably from Louisana - or some legendary part of the bayou area of the US.
Mitrula paludosa
Tiny orange fungi found growing in a wetlands environment within the New Jersey Pinelands.
While on the latter end of the Kepler Track on New Zealand's South Island, we passed by this swamp that had some nice reflections. I made my way through some thick brush down to the edge of the swamp. After a few minutes, a perfect ray of sunlight burst through the forest canopy and lit up this brackish pool, turning it deep red. It was fascinating to photograph!
Early morning in the swamps, photographing in the morning turned out to be a bit tricky, shooting from the kayak meant that the shutter speed needed to be higher than you would normally use at this time of day which meant using something like iso 2000 to get a sufficient shutter speed to negate the motion blur.
Corkscrew Swamp was once the biggest nesting ground for North America’s Wood Storks. In the past 60 years, close to 100,000 baby storks were born in the sanctuary’s moss-drenched cypress forest.
After a 2 year absence the Wood Storks are back and nesting in the cypress trees at Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary in Naples, FL.
Thank you very much for your views, faves, and encouraging comments!

It's been a long time since I've posted any complicated composite onto my flickr stream . I almost completed this image a few months ago (OCT) and then I decided to work on this image another day. I gave up.
Two days ago I started working on this image again. I think I like this picture. Anyways, I am so happy this picture is finally finished! I have a few more complicated edits on the way !
I think I have been discouraged from working on complicated images since I worked with that horrible model from week 48 in my 52 week project. Anyways I have a few pictures which are more complicated edits coming soon :)

(Asclepias incarnata). Llano County, Texas.
A couple of weeks ago Caro and I took a short trip to Llano, Texas - a wonderful Hill County town bisected by the Llano River with great scenery, shops, and restaurants. While there we explored the nearby countryside and found areas where the clear, cool Llano River flowed over rocky beds and its banks supported a diversity of plant life. Perhaps the most charismatic and exciting of these riparian species is the swamp milkweed (Asclepias incarnata). With a range spanning much of the contiguous U.S., this milkweed has a spotty distribution in Texas, and is most readily observed along perennial waterways in the Edwards Plateau and a few mucky stream bottoms along perennial streams in the Panhandle. We were fortunate enough to observe several large groups, the tallest of which were approaching five feet in height, growing along the banks of the Llano.
Paddled in the Flat Lake area around Morgan City yesterday. As my idol Steve Irwin would have said, it was "chock-a-block" full of wildlife! On a side note, I usually get to this area from 90, going through Morgan City. I totally spaced out while driving on 10 though and passed up the 310 exit, so I ended up taking the D-ville exit. Was sort of bummed about this due to the added extra time, but I was able to get to this swamp from the North rather than the south, which meant I got to go through Pierre Part for the first time. What a cool little town!
Many years ago, the Pearl River flowed here. The river changed course. A shallow area was created by the deposition of sediments as the river retreated. During periodic low water, seedlings of water-tolerant cypress and tupelo trees gained a foothold. The trees you see today are a result.
Water tupelo and bald cypress trees can live in deep water for long periods. After taking root in the summer when the swamp is dry, the seedlings can stay alive in water deep enough to kill other plants.
The trail at this location leads through an abandoned river channel. As the channel fills with silt and vegetation, black willow, sycamore, red maple, and other trees will gradually replace the bald cypress and water tupelo. Also if you look closely you may see juvenile alligators sunning themselves on floating logs and other vegetation.
This location is also a trailhead for the Yockanookany Section of the Natchez Trace National Scenic Trail. This trailhead is located directly across the paved Parkway from the Cypress Swamp site. Hikers may hike south 14.1 miles to the West Florida Boundary, north 8.9 miles to the Yockanookany Trailhead, or any distance they chose on this out and back trail.

Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

The white dots cresting the hill in the background are actually members of a gannet rookery. You can get within an acceptable distance for photos if you have some decent equipment, but none of mine with the travel camera were worth keeping. Swamp wallaby and gannet rookery, from the last day of our wonderful Great Southwest Walk, out of Portland, Victoria.
Taken near a local loch(lake) with surrounding swamp land and woods. The sun was low in the sky, about 20 minutes before it set.
