Gorgeous Pat, everything looks so lush. Are you sure it is fall?

It just dawned on me ... if your eye down the barrel of that shotgun is anywhere near your eye behind the camera lens ... I'm gonna hafta turn over a new leaf and ease up on raggin' on you. To show my good intentions ... I'm gonna click on the "Favorites" link above ... Jeez you do Trees that Please!

Muggsy,
Don't you dare ease up on me. If you did that, I would have to ease up on you and I would simply shrivel.
Pat

There's something about the rain that gives the image the look of an effects filter. It softens it and makes you have to see it through water drops falling in streams. Do you think if the shutter were fast enough, you could catch the individual drops? Just being silly. I really like the softeness very much.

Pat, you know I love your swamp photos, don't you? There's nothing more eerie yet more peaceful than this. The mosquitos aren't very loud, are they -they're pretty big down there! (should I be ducking about now? :) Very well done! - Patty

What a wonderfully peaceful desktop this will make Pat. This capture has just the right amount of everything for me to call it 'serene'. Hope you were able to enjoy it as well. Thanks for sharing your silence with me :~)

Oh Pat! Did you take this in Lousiana? All those wonderful Cypress trees! It sure does bring back memories to me!! I remember the scent of those bayous and the peacefulness. Often all we could hear is the soft cricket sounds...or maybe some little rainfroggies. There is something abut hearing soft rain splashing...on nature itself. I sure do feel all you have described here. Out in the countryside where we live, itslike that too. And on the few days we have when it snows, you can hear the snow softly going "shhhhhh" s it falls on top of the snow on the ground....its just wonderful. Thank you for the reminders my dear friend..Verena

Rain in nature is beautiful Pat and you have captured it perfectly here. It makes the swamp so lush and green....gerry..

In spite of rain I find this a complete beautiful photograph. What nevertheless hears I, silence or rain.LOL.

Beautiful capture. The colors and feelings are just great. Excellent work.

It's breathtaking Pat with wonderful color and clarity not to say composition. What a pleasing sight this is. Excellent post and I'm so glad you shared it.

This is a really nice image of the beautiful cyprus trees in the bayou country. It takes me back to my rip there several years ago. Peace and quiet are hard to find nowadays. And I really like your comment. You did good Pat.!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also a place where the gators can sneak up on you & get you from behind..you aint foolin' me Pat!! lol All kidding aside..very nice shot & it does look very peaceful there! The cypress trees are amazing as always!

Great photo of trees that are in short supply. Thanks for posting.

absolutely wonderful photograph Pat! The green is magnificent! and the composition is beautiful too! ...and I know exactly what you mean about the peace and quiet - I experienced that yesterday when I was on my hike - I stopped to listen and I could hear nothing apart from the odd bird and a farm animal somewhere in the distance. The patter of rain that you heard must have sounded quite something in such a peaceful setting. just lovely! Patti

What a stunning place you have captured. It almost looks too good to be real. Truly amazing work, Pat.

Very pretty shot. Love those trees.

*I thought she knew rain made noise*

Wonderful shot and a pretty area. I lovethe colours and the trees. Good composition too

Thanks for sharing
