two crested cormorants courting at the Zoo

a green garter snake native to Missouri sneaks in to the swamp habitat…he is welcome here

on tuesday in #CypressSwamp (home of the infamous #1904WorldsFairBirdCage ) the cormorants Jack and Cormie were pitching woo. up towards the east end, a native interloper - just a common green #gartersnake - snuck in to enjoy the vibe. he is more than welcome.

Soft evening light settles over Lake Steinhagen at Martin Dies Jr. State Park in East Texas, where cypress and tupelo trees rise from still blackwater reflecting the forest in perfect symmetry. The warm golden tones capture that fleeting calm before dusk — a tranquil scene of fading sunlight, mirror-like reflections, and the quiet rhythm of a Southeast Texas wetland. This landscape photograph blends light, texture, and mood in the heart of East Texas nature, where the day ends in peaceful reflection.

I took this picture the other day off a little trail in the swamp. I thought it was very pretty.

🌲 Walking the Reelfoot Lake boardwalk is like stepping into a peaceful, ancient world.The lake was formed during the New Madrid Earthquake when the Mississippi flowed backwards and flooded a forest. #ReelfootLake #scenicviews #CypressSwamp #Tennessee

A serene park path curves gently under the canopy of live oaks draped in Spanish moss. Sunlight filters through the leaves, casting a dappled pattern on the ground and turning the scene into a nature walk full of southern charm. The lush greens and swaying moss create a perfect blend of landscape composition and forest canopy.

A detailed close-up of Spanish moss hanging from the branches of a live oak tree. The strands of moss are fine and silvery-gray, gently twisting among the deep green leaves. Sunlight filters through, giving the moss a soft glow and highlighting the natural texture of the southern forest.

In this image, tall bald cypress trees stand like guardians in an East Texas swamp, their trunks mirrored in shallow water. Spanish moss drapes gracefully from the branches, catching the golden morning light and creating a natural tapestry. The interplay of swamp forest reflections and the warm hues of autumn leaves turns this scene into a southern landscape full of natural texture.

This close-up shot focuses on the intricate lacework of Spanish moss, backlit by forest sunlight. The delicate filaments glow as they hang in soft focus, showcasing the natural light photography and the forest’s fine detail. It’s a glimpse into the gentle glow of an East Texas forest.

I’ve always thought Spanish moss was pretty. Yesterday I tried to capture some of its beauty.

Landscape photo of a swampy area covered in green moss and shallow pools of water. Dozens of cypress knees and weathered stumps rise from the ground, some leaning at angles, while a tall cypress tree grows from a large base in the center. Fog drifts across the background, softening the tree line and creating a mysterious, atmospheric scene.
