Lake Charlotte Swamp, Wallisville, Texas

I went to the swamp today, but I guess I was there too early. There were no gators out. I'll have to try again another day.

@wannabe Thank you, Catherine! Yeah, you have to stay on the decking or you don't know what will slither or swim up!

Excellent shot! Love the swamp, reminds me of the ones in Louisiana.

[JC Vogt]

Very nice colors in this. Great moss covered water, and I like the tones of green. Well done!

I love the green but I especially love the trunks of cypresses.

@grannysue Thank you! This is very close to Louisiana. I live in East Texas.

@365inthelifeofjcvogt Thank you, JC! It's a beautiful spot.

@bardejov Thank you! The cypress trees are impressive.

@clmiller I lived in Louisiana for years, then moved to Texas. Swamps have more wildlife to take photos of, up here it is usually just too hot and dry in the summer.

@grannysue There are some amazing birds roosting in the tress on the other side of the swamp. I wish I had a bigger lens. Maybe for Christmas :) As you already know, it's hot here but not dry! Lots of humidity!

What an amazing scene; far from anything we see here in li'l ol' England!

[Lisa Pouncy]

This is beautiful xx

This is so wonderful! I've visited the swamps near Galveston once and did see some gators and armadillos there. Just love that southern landscape!

[Tessa]

Yes no need for gators. lovely shot.

@wordpixman Thanks, Arthur! That's one of the great things about this project...we get to see amazing places around the world!

[Caren]

@psychographer Thanks so much! I was the only one there so I just sat and took it all in for awhile.
@smallenburg Thank you! Now that school is out I plan to head toward Galveston for some shooting as well!
@tesssa Thank you, Tessa! :)

[sandra]

@clmiller I was in Galveston just days after the flood, hope things are looking better now!

[Chris]

This is so different from where I live and very beautiful - thank you.
