Flashback to South Carolina Swamp by taffy

Flashback to South Carolina Swamp

Every January I move the previous year's images from my computer to an external drive. I've been purging photos that I know I'll never do anything with before the transfer and came across this series taken on a kayak trip last March. I ended up spending a chunk of time today processing several and enjoying thinking about that tour.
Beautiful capture of the lush, green swamp!

Beautiful reflections of the trees in this lush swamp! Taffy, do you recommend this place to visit? I’m going to Charleston in March and may have a day to spend there.

@redy4et Yes, I really liked it a lot. It takes about 90 minutes to drive there, so it's a commitment. It's called Audubon Park and there's a guide who takes you out (you're in your own kayak -- Jim and I went together and I was in front so I could take photos). If you have any trouble locating it, let me know and I'll see if I can find out who the guide was. He works at the park and takes folks on walking tours as well. Just found it: Kayak tour in Four Holes Swamp in Frances Beidler Forest with Ricky. And in my notes it was under an hour to get there. I do remember we got lost on the way home when our GPS went 'dark' for a bit.

Love this shot. So lush and the reflection is superb. It would make one heck of a jigsaw puzzle!

gorgeous swamp with the clear water ... great capture, amazing clarity … I can't help but wonder if there were mosquitoes!

@lynnz I think the mozzies were too bad and we had bug spray on, but I don't remember them being a serious problem. We were out early and that may have made some of the difference.

Now that is a good rule to keep. I've been naming 100's of mine that were unrecognisable

Beautiful! What a great idea to 'spring-clean' your photos at this time of year.

That really is dense vegetation - is there anything lurking in there?

What a beautiful scene - but I hope crocs aren't found there....
January 10th, 2020  
@robz Yes, we saw crocs on the bank. Made me definitely want to stay stable in the boat, even more than keeping my camera dry!

Beautiful and inviting- would love to be in the front of a canoe or kayak photographing this place. Great shot!
