Looking back . It's a good reminder that we need the summer rainy season here in Southwest Florida, so that our swamps and sloughs will still be wet and wild during the winter dry season!
For Gemma's SCENIC WEEKENDS and STRAIGHT OUT OF THE CAMERA also hosted by Gemma, along with Magical Mystery Teacher. Thank you!
Look how you've caught the sky reflecting in the pond. That is amazing.

Hi Sallie, your watery photos are outstanding- you captured the beauty of Florida's swamps perfectly. Few people realize just how awesome our wetlands, swamps and Everglades are.
Finally the sun is shinning again! ~:)

Wonderful habitat

Looks great to view - but I don't think I'd swim there?
'Gators might lurk.
Great to know that your are getting the drought breaking rain.
Droughts are terrible for all livestock, native animals and people on the land.

I love that middle photo.It looks like a magical place!

Pretty shots of the wetlands. I have heard about the rain you were having in Florida! I hope it helps with the drought. The first shot is pretty with the reflections!

wow, Sallie, that is amazing shots. Love them all even if my favourite is the middle one. :)
The last one can go for an abstract! Maybe for my meme next week. :) Just a sugestion.

Such a beautiful melting of colours in the waters! And adore the lily pads in the first photo! Great to see you back at Scenic Weekends!

It always surprises me to see the colors in the water. I love walking the boardwalks to see the swamps! That's as close as I want to be! lol Sweet hugs!
