Description
Staying at the Clyde Butcher Big Cypress Gallery in the Everglades, I participated in the guided swamp walk. Later, I decided to go back out into the swamp to experience the place alone. It was an awesome experience. If the trail hadn't been marked, I would have had a rough time getting back. The air was moist and cool as a light breeze wove around the cypress, ferns, and bromeliads. Native orchids clinging to the trees held out their small, fragrant flowers to attract pollenators. The only sounds were the small fish striking at the water's surface or the occasional squawks of ibises or herons foraging in the shallows. Being keenly aware of my footing, my only real concern was stumbling on a submerged root or unseen limestone outcrop and dousing my camera and lenses. I lost my footing once and fortunately recovered quickly, only splashing my camera with a few drops.
