Capture those bright greens before they're gone...

[Len Philpot]

It's only mid-April but already the Louisiana daytime highs are in the upper 80s F (lower 30s C) so it's not long until the bright spring greens dull to darker summer hues. So yesterday I took an hour drive down to Chicot State Park, south of me. Until today (of course) it's been bluebird skies, clear blue with no clouds, but there was warm sunrise light, at least. Here are a few from that outing.

Do you shoot from shore Len or are you in a skiff?

From the shore. I don't own nor do I rent a boat. Some of those (first three) were from a low bridge.

Great shots, indeed @Len Philpot. I particularly love the last two.

I love these. Did you have to fight the environment to capture these (mud, mosquitos, flies, smells)?
