Took a ride out to Lake Moultrie in South Carolina while I was in Charleston. All of the tree in the water shots have been done. Since I was looking for something a little different, I saw the light hitting this cypress knee and thought the color was unusual for the area. This is a long exposure to help smooth out the water.

Sullivans Island, SC
The palmetto tree (e.g., foreground) became the state tree of SC because of a Revolutionary War battle at this fort (then named Fort Sullivan, commanded by Col William Moultrie) in which the barricade of palmetto logs successfully defended the fort against a British attack on June 28, 1776.
The fort is part of the Fort Sumter and Fort Moultrie National Historical Park.
A view of the third and current Moultrie County Courthouse on the square in downtown Sullivan. The classical revival style building, completed in 1906, was designed by the architectural firm of Deal & Ginsel. Since its completion, the building has housed functions of county government. The courthouse was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.
Moultrie County is located in east central Illinois, and had a population of 14,526 at the 2020 census. The population of Sullivan, the county seat, was 4,413 in 2020. Sullivan is named after Sullivan's Island, South Carolina, where Fort Moultrie is located. The motto of the city is "More Than Just A Small Town."
A very wild evening on the shores of Lake Moultrie a couple of years back. It was the most interesting sky I ever had in my many visits there.
Fort Moultrie is a series of fortifications on Sullivan's Island, South Carolina, built to protect the city of Charleston, South Carolina. The first fort, built of palmetto logs, inspired the flag and nickname of South Carolina, "The Palmetto State". It is named for the commander in the Battle of Sullivan's Island, General William Moultrie.
Fort Moultrie is the only area of the National Park System where the entire 171-year history of American seacoast defense (1776–1947) can be traced.

Reflections On A Question Not Asked (JHWatkins)
I would not worship nature,
but
watch the firestorms
of evening Eden’s
colliding with collars of stars,
bordering the spreading blankets...
flowing......floating on mist.
Here deep spells
speak to rising hearts
of early years... tears...
and beginnings,
failed then
flourishing
in fading light.
Many the meetings in mirrors,
Reflection souls,
Broken and healed,
Sing out, having heard the cry
Wishing, then wondering-
Then washed by
colors of the night.
I would not worship nature
but cry quietly at
whispers of deep dreamy forests
drumming with wooden warmth
lost in caverns,
ascending in autumns,
forsaken in fragments
and
flames of the glowing day.
Come softer than nature,
with wounded revelations,
Waves of somber subtle summers,
winters, and springs-
Come straighter and stronger,
on strict lines of deft decisions
resting by quietest waters
of heart streams
that have come home
to the
fountain of the universe.
