Water tupelo and bald cypress trees grow in the swamps waterlogged soil. The swollen bases give the trees a broader footprint needed to stabilize them in the wet soil.
Cypress roots stick out of the water like periscopes near the base of the trees. The roots are called cypress knees.

La réserve naturelle domaniale d'Orti est localisée en Ardenne centrale, dans la vallée du ruisseau de Laval, à proximité de sa confluence avec l'Ourthe occidentale, au sud du village de Lavacherie, sur le territoire communal de Sainte-Ode. L'essentiel de ses quelque 6,5 hectares est occupé par une mosaïque de mégaphorbiaies et de prairies humides acidophiles à reine des prés (Filipendula ulmaria), jonc à tépales aigus (Juncus acutiflorus), comaret (Comarum palustre), succise des prés (Succisa pratensis), bistorte (Persicaria bistorta), valériane officinale (Valeriana officinalis), lysimaque commune (Lysimachia vulgaris) et bien d'autres plantes encore. Des massifs arbustifs se sont progressivement installés suite à l'abandon du site comme pré de fauche. Il s'agit souvent de saussaies marécageuses à saule à oreillettes (Salix aurita) là où le sol est le plus gorgé d'eau. A d'autres endroits, une jeune forêt feuillue évolue librement, notamment sous l'aspect d'une aulnaie-frênaie le long du cours d'eau. Un étang mésotrophe complète la palette d'habitats présents sur cette belle zone humide. Ce fond de vallée est fréquenté par une faune particulièrement remarquable, assez comparable à ce qu'on observe dans les autres sites encore bien préservés de la région. Une autre zone protégée, la ZHIB d'Orti, s'étale sur près de 4 ha juste à l'est, sur la rive opposée du ruisseau de Laval. Cette réserve domaniale est inscrite en presque totalité au réseau Natura 2000 dans le site BE34031 "Bassin moyen de l'Ourthe occidentale". Elle est aussi entièrement englobée dans les limites du Parc Naturel des Deux Ourthes.
The national nature reserve of Orti is located in the central Ardennes, in the valley of the Laval stream, near its confluence with the western Ourthe, south of the village of Lavacherie, in the municipal territory of Sainte-Ode. Most of its approximately 6.5 hectares is occupied by a mosaic of megaphorbiaia and acidophilous wet meadows with meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria), sharp-tepaled rush (Juncus acutiflorus), comaret (Comarum palustre), meadow succise ( Succisa pratensis), bistort (Persicaria bistorta), valerian (Valeriana officinalis), common loosestrife (Lysimachia vulgaris) and many other plants. Shrub beds have gradually settled in following the abandonment of the site as a mowing meadow. It is often swamp sassai with auricle willow (Salix aurita) where the soil is most waterlogged. In other places, a young deciduous forest evolves freely, notably in the aspect of an alder-ash forest along the watercourse. A mesotrophic pond completes the range of habitats present in this beautiful wetland. This valley bottom is frequented by a particularly remarkable fauna, quite comparable to what can be observed in the other still well-preserved sites in the region. Another protected area, the ZHIB d'Orti, extends over almost 4 ha just to the east, on the opposite bank of the Laval stream. This state reserve is almost entirely included in the Natura 2000 network in the BE34031 site "Middle basin of the western Ourthe". It is also entirely encompassed within the limits of the Deux Ourthes Natural Park.
Shot looking towards Kippure on the Featherbeds in county Wicklow.
I once read something by a photographer who said that "the best images are taken when we are cold, hungry and the body does not want to function but this is when the light is right" This is not a shot I am really happy with but it was hard work so it is being posted. Taken standing in waterlogged ground in bitterly cold conditions that were not helped by forgetting my gloves. When I got back to to the car the hot aches in my hands were not good.
Chase... she is a nut!! She will come out of the water with most anything...she thought this old waterlogged shoe was the best thing since Milkbones!!
A migrant duck to our region, they are found in small numbers of max 10-15 in lakes around the region. The birds are visibly smaller than many of the other migrant ducks / geese we get here.
Sighted these in the shallow waterlogged fields adjoining a large lake along with a huge variety of waders and ducks. Unfortunately the soil was too slippery and the dirt road was under water, so had to shoot from far.
Thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.
An empty QCM/AMMC ore train crawls north at the Mile 30 rock cut, on 7/1/2025, most of the day was a washout with little activity on QNSL and only a handful of trains on QCM in the afternoon. The locomotives were really working, fighting wet rail at this location.
QCM, now owned by Luxembourg based mining and steel giant, ArcelorMittal remains busy with weekly passenger and fuel trains, along with 6-12 ore trains per day depending on the demands of production. Much of the southern end of the railroad as well as the northern end, are fairly accessible, however much of the 260 mile system is buried in the middle of nowhere and only accessible by train, plane, or helicopter. Like the other mining railroads in the region, QCM is rarely visited by railfans and has some of the best scenery and some of the most interesting operations in North America.
As for my trip, after loosing the pinion seal in my truck a few days prior to my trip, I had to get a rental. Originally settling on a SUV, without knowing rental agencies can now only rent sedans for travelers going to Canada, I ended up missing a day of my trip until everything was ironed out. In the end I got a Nissan Altima, which after getting the extra insurance and being assured by the clerk that I "didn't have a dime invested in it" I was off.
The Nissan Altima, definitely got a work out on 75 miles of waterlogged dirt roads on this day, trying to keep up with the empty train that was doing well over 40+ MPH in places.
A special thanks goes out to a couple of friends who were able to gather information for me, which really saved the day from being a complete bust.

Sometimes backlit works ! The anhinga catches its fish prey by sinking below the water surface and spearing fish with its dagger-like bill. To better sink, it allows its plumage to become waterlogged. Thus, like the cormorants to which it is related, the anhinga needs to spread its wings to dry itself after the hunt. Unlike ducks and other water birds, the feathers are not oily: they need to absorb water so that the bird sinks more efficiently. Anhingas are widely distributed in wetlands from the southern United States to South America.

Some of the slipperiest rocks I've ever had to navigate.
A couple of minutes earlier of taking this photo, I had only just put my camera bag on my back after cleaning a spot of seawater on my filter, when a freak high wave crashed on to me and I had to hold on to my tripod for dear life, whilst trying to stay standing on my feet. The adrenaline from that morning made the feeling of my wet clothes and waterlogged wellies, all the more enjoyable on the walk back to my car.
We didn't get up to the ruined church until quite late in the day but were rewarded with some pretty good light just as the sun disappeared behind the clouds for good. Everything is looking decidly waterlogged on the Somerset Levels already so I hope they don't get flooded out like last winter.

Spindly evergreens doing the best they can, growing in waterlogged, acidic, nutrient-poor peat. Perhaps it was a beaver pond not long ago.
Thanks for visiting!
Arriving early at Glasgow Veterinary School for yet another of Poppy's appointments, I took her for a quick b'donder (defined as the speed at which I walk when I have my camera with me; much slower than a wander!) around the grounds when I spotted this `abandoned' tennis ball on the water-covered tennis court being lit by the brief moment of sun we got today. I imagine a game was called off suddenly in the heavy rain!
It was a bit of a job, crouching low, holding my camera to the fence (which created the shapes in the sparkly bokeh) while trying to locate the tennis ball in the view finder!
Wandering clouds in the big sky of Cley and Salthouse marshes. Owned and managed by Norfolk Wildlife Trust they are one of the country's premier birdwatching reserves. The footpaths were more waterlogged than ever after the recent deluge of Storm Babet.
Certainly there has been a lot of rain recently as can be seen with the River Mole running quite fast and very high . At the moment it is not bursting it's banks but there are spots along the Riverside Path where water lays across it and some of the surrounding fields some waterlogged areas could be seen .
A touch of sunshine today and some blue sky , but from tomorrow onward I think it is back to clouds for quite a while !!
Hectic old weekend cleaning out rooms of furniture and pulling out carpet .. the chance of a bit of colour to finish the day was too irresistible.. at my favourite waterlogged tree on Lake Illawarra, Shellharbour
Geranium is a genus of 422 species of flowering annual, biennial, and perennial plants that are commonly known as the cranesbills. They are found throughout the temperate regions of the world and the mountains of the tropics, but mostly in the eastern part of the Mediterranean region. The long, palmately cleft leaves are broadly circular in form. The flowers have five petals and are coloured white, pink, purple or blue, often with distinctive veining. Geraniums will grow in any soil as long as it is not waterlogged. Propagation is by semiripe cuttings in summer, by seed, or by division in autumn or spring. Confusingly, geranium is also the common name of members of the genus Pelargonium, which are also in the Geraniaceae family and are widely grown as horticultural bedding plants. The shape of the flowers offers one way of distinguishing between the two genera Geranium and Pelargonium. Geranium flowers have five very similar petals, and are thus radially symmetrical (actinomorphic), whereas Pelargonium (and also Erodium) flowers have two upper petals which are different from the three lower petals, so the flowers have a single plane of symmetry. 32297
White, waxy and brilliantly beautiful!
Besides attractive leaves, Calathea warscewiczii also produces showy cone-like inflorescences. The bracts that cover the cone are creamy white in color when they first emerge and gradually turn to yellow and take on a pinkish hue with time. They are arranged spirally around the cone and the rims of these bracts fold over the edge, which make the entire cone look somewhat like a rose flower when viewed from the top!
Calathea warscewiczii is one fussy prayer plant to grow. It needs bright, filtered sunshine. Direct sun can burn the leaves of this plant. It needs to be grown in an area with high humidity and protection from winds, like Windows to the Tropics at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden.
It is also picky about the medium it's grown in. It does best in a well-drained mix rich in organic matter. The fibrous roots need to be in contact with moist soil at all times. Mulch generously to keep the roots moist and cool. Waterlogged conditions should also be avoided as roots can rot.
A prayer plant relative and a member of the Marantaceae family, this plant has a curious habit of folding up its leaves as if one puts two hands together during prayer when night falls. This herbaceous plant is native to Costa Rica and Nicaragua and produces lanceoate leaves that have a dark green background and an attractive fishtail pattern on the upperside of the leaves. If conditions are optimal, the leaves that are covered with fine silvery hairs leaves, which make them furry to touch, can grow up to almost one foot long. The leaves have a maroon colored underside.

Water from the recent heavy rains and melting snow lying on the greens. Glossop golf course with Shire Hill in the background.
Clem was out for his normal evening swim when he noticed there were an unusual number of walkers. The walkers seemed to be making gross guttural noises and their giddy ups were full of quirky hitches and foot dragging. Clem decided he would risk some wrinkled, waterlogged skin and stay right where he was for awhile. Maybe the wereninjas would take care of them.

Young Cormorant drying feathers in the sun
"Although they are adept swimmers and masterful fishers, cormorants do not have fully waterproof feathers. As a result, they can often be seen standing on the shore, their wings spread to dry by catching the breeze and sun."
"While pros at swimming, the cormorants’ waterlogged feathers often make it look as if they are struggling in water. They often have just their faces and necks above the water’s surface and, after a dip, perch in trees or sit on rocks with their wings open to dry their feathers in the sun."

Back on the hares! I haven’t been up for ages as the fields have been so flooded and waterlogged, and last time I went I didn’t see any at all and thought they had moved on elsewhere. However, I thought I’d give it a go yesterday morning and was so pleased to spot a group of them in the middle of the field. I crawled along the hedgerow to try and get closer to them when I suddenly realised this little guy was so close to me, he was so well disguised in the soil. I crawled to just 10 feet from him and spent some time observing him cleaning himself and chilling in the sun. This picture is uncropped, that’s how close I was to him. What a wonderful way to spend a morning, well worth getting muddied up to the eyeballs!
The irrigated farmlands of Schaan in Liechtenstein provide a home to a few egrets and herons. My guess is that the waterlogged fields must hold plenty of prey. A Great White Egret is seen here on its slow and deliberate flight. In the background can be seen one of the many redundant farmers huts that dot this landscape.
The Final act of the Dippers ‘ tough love’..
The parents had to build a third nest this year as the first two ( under waterfall) were waterlogged by the heavy rain.
They then fed their two chicks non-stop for 5/6 days while avoiding/evading predators.
Then as you see from an earlier pic of mine –the parents turned their backs on the begging chicks and said ‘go get your own food!
And now the final act- the parents chase the chicks away from what is after all the parents’ territory.
Go and find your own space.

It's good to be king!
This cormorant is actually just drying its wings after a fishing session. They do not have the same level of waterproofing as ducks and geese, so they need to periodically dry their feathers before they become completely waterlogged.
I debated cropping this a bit, but decided I liked the sense of space this view has.
The worst sufferers included the residents of Bakalia Solosahar, GEC Moor (crossing), WASA Crossing, Badurtala, Halishahar, Agrabad, Hat Hazari, Boalkhali, Baddarhat, Muradpur, Probartak Moor, Kapasgola, Panchlais, Chaktai Baddarhat, Muradpur,.The sufferings of common people and school children knows no bound. Water logging also causes various diseases such as malaria, dengue, diarrhea etc.

Waterlogged fields by the River Chess in the Chess Valley. Taken during a walk between Christmas and New Year.
This poor little thing was foraging around for some food despite the rain. But as you can see from its fur, it is well adapted for these conditions. If you enlarge the photo, that is not ice you see by the way. No, unfortunately someone has broken a glass bottle and it hasn't been removed. But this wallaby is very used to living around human habitation in the alpine village.
It's been so wet over the past 3-4 weeks the kites have resorted to worming in the waterlogged fields :-)
Uncommon in forest, marshes, and mangroves, where usually greatly outnumbered by similar Common Black Hawk. Slightly larger and lankier than Common Black Hawk, with longer legs and tail, and adults of the two species have very different calls in flight. Adult Great Black has 2 white tail bands (1 on Common) and less extensive yellow in face. Immature looks whiter-headed than Common (no big black moustaches), and its longer tail has narrower and more numerous pale bars. Usually warier than Common, which can be quite unconcerned by people. (eBird)

This immature bird was thoroughly soaked by a heavy, overnight rain. He was not pleased to see us because he was too waterlogged to fly away.
