I do

As do I. Very peaceful.

Absolutely, Jeremy, and the gators love it.

I'm not a gator, (and I don't even play one on TV,) but I like it too.

[Jeremy Roussak]

Absolutely, Jeremy, and the gators love it.

I had a wonderful morning in 1980 paddling a metal canoe on the Suwanee River, in the Okefenokee swamp. Large alligators would gradually submerge as we approached, until only their eyes were visible, then disappear altogether. I wasn't eaten. Lucky, I suppose.

This photo reminded me of that time.

Thank you Jeremy, Eric, Russ, and rabanito for checking this out.
Saw no gators that day. Their natural shyness often keeps them hidden. (Fearsome crocs they're not.)
Jeremy, glad no gators disturbed your peaceful trip.
And Eric, here in Hollywood South there's always a part in the swamp for an intrepid photographer.

Like this one.

[Kevin Gallagher]

 I like it very much too Richard, it reminds me of Clyde Butcher's work although I do believe he does mostly B&W.

I was unimpressed by the thumbnail but the full size image is impressive. I like it a lot.
Well done.

Thank you Cornfield (perfect name for a LULA member), Kevin, and Francois.
Kevin - Recently saw Butcher's work in his Sarasota Fla. gallery. All of it was b&w and all of it was like some kind of bright earthy music. What engaged and mystified me most was how luminous the highlights are. Soft and never blown out.
Francois - Glad the meager thumbnail did not turn you away.
