Colorful swamp - trees and reflection.

#photography #naturephotography #landscape
A stand of tall cypress trunks rises from calm, colorful water. The trees' flared bases are mirrored in dense, rippling reflections. Autumn colors from the forest beyond fragment across the surface, creating a patterned tapestry. The various trees provide vertical lines in the reflection and the ripples interact horizontally.

The first rays of light

#photography #naturephotography #landscape
Bright orange cypress foliage glows in the first rays of light, leaning over calm water that carries the reflection of the trees and supports a thin veil of mist.

Can't just paddle by a tree without a capture. A mid-lake tupelo anticipating the warmth of the morning sun.

#photography #naturephotography #landscape
A lone tree stands in silhouette against rising light of pre-dawn. Bare branches reflect in the smooth surface of the lake. A soft gradient of orange and violet glows along the horizon, casting faint light across the water.

Can't just paddle by a gbh, without a capture. A heron enjoying the warmth of the morning sun.

#photography #naturephotography #birds #heron
A great blue heron stands at the edge of the water, lit by warm morning sunlight that highlights its blue and gray plumage. Cypress knees rise behind it like small wooden spires, and its reflection stretches into the still surface below.

The swamp is lovely dark and deep
But I have promises to keep...
Not really. I have the week off.

#photography #naturephotography #landscape
A dense stand of cypress trees rises from still water. The trees' wide bases are reflected in long vertical streaks. Warm light filters through the trunks and a faint blue mist hangs just above the surface.

I'm enchanted by the subtle color of late-autumn. Sometimes they have to send for me, but I'm easy to find.

#photography #naturephotography #landscape
A straight line of tall trees in late-autumn color stands at the lake’s edge. Some branches are bare, some rust-red and glowing in warm morning sunlight. Tall loblolly pines show their green foliage behind the rest. The trunks and hues are mirrored in the calm water below, forming a soft reflection.

Morning sun lights the trees at the swamp's edge

#photography #naturephotography #landscape
A tightly packed grove of bald cypress and tupelo gum trees with wide buttressed bases occupies the frames. The scene is lit by warm, low-angle sunlight. The orange needles on the branches are reflected in the calm water, slightly-rippled water.

'You can radiate anything you want'

#photography #naturephotography #landscape
Backlit by rising light, a cypress tree stands like a silhouette in the center of bright, calm water. Reflections ripple gently below, while red and golden foliage gathers at its base.

Autumn morning stillness.

#photography #naturephotography #landscape
A foreground cypress with symmetrical bare branches grows from the middle of a lake and is reflected in very still water. A second cypress and a shoreline of mixed hardwoods with reddish fall foliage fill the background beneath a cloudless blue sky.

Late autumn water-loving trees

#photography #naturephotography #landscape
Cypress and tupelo trees stand tightly clustered just off the water’s edge. The trees' thick, tapered trunks reflected in still, tanic water. A faint red foliage shows through the deeper browns and grays, conveying late-autumn stillness.

Cypresses painted in this morning's cloud-diffused light.

#photography #naturephotography #landscape
Golden, cloud-diffused, sunlight washes across a stand of cypress trees rising from the water. The autumn foliage of the trees shimmers in reds and oranges. The lake reflects trunks and branches in soft, rippled detail.

A pale tupelo trunk and November color

#photography #naturephotography #landscape
A single, curved tupelo trunk stands like a pale pillar, reflected in a rippling lake. Behind it, fall colors, greens, golds, and a burst of bright red, layer the forest in soft gradients. The colors scatter across the reflection.

Cypresses in wind-whipped water.

#photography #naturephotography #landscape
Tall bald cypress trunks rise straight from wind-whipped water, their pale, flared bases darkened where the lake laps against them. Sunlight filters through the dense vertical lines of the trees. Rust-colored foliage adorns the upper portions of the trees.

Cormorant trio at dawn

#photography #naturephotography #landscape
Wind-ruffled water in the foreground leads toward a line of cypress trees standing knee-deep in the lake, their bare branches silhouetted against a sweeping dawn sky. Three cormorants cross high overhead, small dark shapes moving through the rising light. A distant shoreline forms a dark band across the image.

Tupelos support a fallen sweet gum. The sweet gum is very much alive.

#photography #naturephotography #landscape
Multiple hardwood trunks, each with gray-blue lichen, form vertical and diagonal lines through the frame. A fallen tree is propped and wedged between them, it's darker bark contrasting the lighter trunks. Behind the structure, dense autumn foliage provides warm tones.

In the pines at night

#photography #naturephotography #landscape
A person stands at the base of a tall pine tree at night, holding a small light that glows warmly against the darkness. The forest around them fades into shadow, and a clear star-filled sky stretches overhead.

A heron, fluffed and cold...and perhaps a bit grumpy

#photography #birds #heron
A great blue heron stands at water's edge on a sunny, but chilly day. Its gray-blue feathers are fluffed against the cold air. Behind it, a tangle of vines and branches forms a dark, textured backdrop.
