Joyce Wildlife Management Area

Did a Swamp Nature Walk today at the Joyce Wildlife Management Area. Pictures can't do it justice...it was kind of eerie yet magical. And the birds! A wonderful racket...we saw a beautiful owl snoozing in a tree. And I finally saw a gator! Just a little guy.

According to a local that we talked to, this guy has been coming back here the last couple of years. The swamps are amazing and they're everywhere in this area.

I found everything to be very drab and dull in colour, but then I spotted these bright red blossoms...

Nice to see vibrant life in the midst of a dark, dreary, spooky swamp.
