A bayou is usually an open stream with vegetation along the sides, a swamp is a boggy wetland where water seems to stand still, although its water does rise and fall with freshwater tides. Sometimes the movement of water in a swamp is so slight you would not even notice it. Some swamps are fed by bayous, which are fed by rivers. I often stop here to see what birds may be visiting.

Now that's some bluesy music. Thanks for the link. I learned some new things about swamps and bayous today. Remembering it is a different matter. LOL. This is a gorgeous shot of the swamp. Great color tones, and I love that bird flying over the area, too. Very nice, E.

I have to say I really like this one. The fog really adds a mysterious feel to it. The shadows and lighting are perfect. I do believe I would have cloned the bird out thou. It distracts from the rest of it.

I didn't know that about the swamp and the bayou E~. Thanks for the information. Thanks also for the bluesy song and gorgeous photo. It does have the feel of mystery about it. The bird flying over really adds.
Nice, bluesy post.

Eerie looking location. Just the sort of spot marked on the map with 'here be monsters'.....

I love the mood created by the lighting and colour tones of your photo. An evocative scene and great musical accompaniment. Very nicely done.

I do like the dark somber and quiet beauty of the swamp in the mist Liz and glad you showed a different side instead of huge snapping alligators and poisonous snakes..LOL
