Shot this with my iphone because I didnt wanna change lenses. This is from the Trembling Earth nature trail at Stephen Foster State Park, in the Okefenokee Swamp.
The swamp was full of alligators. At times we would see 4 at a time. They usually were perfectly still with their eyes and snout sticking above the water. As we approached, they slowly sank away without a ripple. Sometimes we would see bubbles coming towards us. The water was so dark and reflective, they could be inches below the water and we wouldn't see them.
The swamp is in a giant peat bog, which makes the fresh water a dark tea like color. The dark perfectly still water acted like a perfect mirror.
I stopped for the night at the state park and was enraptured by the Stephen Foster music playing from the carrilon.

This was definitely the nicest Canoeing I've ever done. A beautiful place. Certain times of the year, you can take multi-day canoe trips, camping on specially built platforms in the swamp.
Photographing this inch-long green treefrog at night at such close range proved quite difficult. Fortunately, he/she was extremely accomodating.

I was never able to find a species match for this tiny, lovely flower, but it's design closely resembles a Tibetan mandala.
