Baldcypress swamp - Bluff Lake

Wonderful swamp. Excellent photo and reflections.

Thanks, micritter.

Are these similar in vegetation to the great Florida swamps or do they differ, being that much further north and inland?
Fine shot.

I've only been in a Florida swamp a couple of times. I think they are similar to this. The only trees that grow in the water are bald-cypress (Taxodium distichum) and a very similar species pond-cypress (Taxodium ascendens). There are also many Amerian lotus (Nelumbo lutea) and water-lily (Nymphaea sp.) growing in shallow water. Also many floating plants that I don't know the names of.

Many thanks, Ron.
I must visit States-side one day - and it will be a joy leaving the laptop behind!

Couleurs et texture extraordinaires j'aime beaucoup !***************

Thank you very much, Jocelyne.

WOW, all this greenery, this is just fabulous, Ronald ***********************

Thank you, Marie-claire. The color is overwhelming this time of year.

... a sense of green and gray ... lovely reflections ...
