just off the parking area at Big Cypress access...I had a miserable time trying to get the exposure right...if I was right for the surrounding areas and the trees, I blew out the sunny spots...it was awful..and the mosquitos were the size of turkey buzzards and just about as hateful!

You're running down our state bird there Gretchen. I hate 'em too. Last week we were fishing the spillway below Carlyle and two started arguing over me. One wanted to take me back for later, and the other told her they better go for me there 'cause otherwise the bigger skeeters would take me away from them.
Nice pictures of the cypress. I hadn't seen any here in Illinois.
