Photograph of a bald cypress swamp at Lake Steinhagen in Martin Dies Jr. State Park, East Texas. Sunlight filters through moss-draped branches of towering cypress trees, their wide bases rooted in still, duckweed-covered water. Spanish moss hangs like lace across the forest canopy, and soft golden light ripples across the shaded wetland floor. This Big Thicket forest captures the atmosphere of a southern cypress swamp — quiet, timeless, and full of natural beauty. The image reflects the unique landscape and biodiversity of the East Texas wetlands, where bald cypress, duckweed, and reflected light create a serene, almost sacred sense of stillness.

I thought the swamp was pretty in the #Autumn light so I took a picture for the #BlueSkyArtShow
