Now why didn't I see that flower? :-D This is beautiful, Sherry. You did great on the red. Looks perfect to me. The grasshopper is a lubber, and that place seems to be full of them. These are wonderful shots, and I'm so glad you went back. Did you find Horseshoe Lake?
Thank you so much, Donna. We did find Horseshoe and that is where I found the lubber; the lily pads were on the opposite side of the road shortly before Luther Lake; and the flower was past Indian Creek almost to the loop at the end of the road. At that loop a tree was on fire, probably hit my lightning and smoldered for days before falling. The trunk of the tree still had about 30' standing, the rest had fallen, and all was smoking heavily. I thought someone should know before the whole swamp caught fire, so I called the only number listed on the map from the kiosk. Don't know if they cared, but I did my part. If the swamp burned down, it wasn't my fault. I LOVE this weather we're having! I hope it lasts 'til Spring!
