Wonderful image! v/f
Carolyn Marshall replied:
Thank you, Jamie. I had taken another shot similar to this one. When I looked at it on the computer, I saw a long black thing that looked like a log in the distant background. When I zoomed really close, I was able to see it was a gator. It wasn't good enough to use, but it reminded me that you really have to be careful when you are out in the natural woods like that.

Wonderful! Florida is so rich in imagery.
Carolyn Marshall replied:
I love wandering the woodsy areas of Florida! Thanks for your comment, Christy.
Carolyn Marshall
Appreciate your comment, Laurie. This was an unexpected find one day when a friend of mine and I went out "exploring".
Carolyn Marshall
It was serene, Kristin. Thank you for the comment. It would make a beautiful painting, too.
Kristin Elmquist
Lovely image, Carolyn. This photograph has a serene feel to it and is also quite painterly. Vote.

Thank you very much for your comment, Robert. You are right, too. It was very hard to leave that place - no paved or marked paths, just raw nature. It was very peaceful.

Thanks, Skip. Really appreciate the V/F. I have some others from this spot that I haven't posted yet. That day I was there, I was looking over the water of a pond similar to this. I saw what looked like a long log, but yet it didn't look like a log. I looked again through my lens, and it was a long gator taking a nap on the other side. You really have to be careful where you walk out there and listen for the sounds. Hope to get that one up soon.

Thank you so much Odd and Shirley. Yes, this was the first time I had been to this place. It is a not-to-traveled spot. Love those kinds of places!
