About an hour south of Hua Hin, Thailand in Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park. Can only imagine what this scene would look like with the lilies in bloom.
Thanks for stopping by my friends. :) Have a great week ahead!
The swamp is an interesting area in Dumbarton with diverse wildlife.

A trek through the brush and rough terrain at sunrise led to a surprise discovery of this "hidden world". I had a hunch there was a wonderful setting here, but didn't know exact;y where until I stumbled across this small lake in the middle of nowhere.

I've had a lot of luck this year photographing swamp sparrows. This guy landed on a great spot and stayed there long enough for me to get several shots. I wish every bird were as cooperative!
I thought this was "Swamp Milkweed", but my neighbor Katherine corrected me. It's actually called Purpletop Vervain or Verbena bonariensis! (It was in her garden!}
Here's an image from my last trip to Texas to shoot the Cypress Swamp. The sky was pretty ugly white in this image, so I tried the new Adobe sky replacement. It's like magic and it dramatically improved the image. I have so much to be thankful for and feel very luck. Lots to look forward to including seeing and spending time with friends and sharing our modern style of friendship with those I only know on social media. Happy Thanksgiving.
Swamp Smoothies "green Smoothies" typically have raw rotted fruits, vegetables, algae, tadpoles, minnows, protozoa, gator bits, snake skin, and fresh tea colored water.
Highly nutritious smoothies include dietary fiber (e.g. pulp, skin, and seeds) and are thicker than fruit juice, often with a consistency similar to a milkshake.

Same individual as yesterday in a more classic profile. A well adapted bird... Riverlands Migratory Bird Sanctuary, West Alton, Missouri
Eastern long-necked turtle
It had its head just poking out of the water. With a tweak to the contrast, the photo came alive.
The Swamp Sparrow has longer legs than other members of its genus; this adaptation allows it to wade into shallow water to forage. This species even sometimes sticks its head under water to try to capture aquatic invertebrates.
These sparrows are winter residents in Missouri, and can be found in large numbers at regional wetlands around St Louis. They like to keep a low profile when possible, but will frequently pop up among the brown reeds. Riverlands Migratory Bird Sanctuary, West Alton, Missouri
Swamp Lilies are abundant in late summer at Corkscrew Swamp, but this one was blooming in February. According to Sanctuary literature, "white-tailed deer will search this plant out for a tasty snack."
My region is a land of swamps. Sometimes it may be attractive.
An HDR pano, taken right before the sunrise, when it's wet, cool and lovely in its own way.
Thank you for all the comments and faves, my friends. Going to be very busy next 2 weeks.
Caught between the plant stems, I like the background on this shot. Riverlands Migratory Bird Sanctuary in West Alton, Missouri
A marshy swamp in the mountains? I know, crazy right? This sits at around 3,800ft in elevation between Clay and Macon County in Western North Carolina. I had considered doing a big impressive sunset over the swamp here, but found this composition by the lakeside as the light was waning a bit. So I scuttled my plans to try and get some decent light shooting from the road and hunkered down on the soft wet ground shooting across the swamp into this mountain top in the distance. Found this log in the foreground, unfortunately I ignored my own advice and didn't bend this sapling back and it sits prominently in the bottom right. Otherwise I enjoy this shot, the colors, contrast, light reflections.
