What to see at Okefenokee

by | Feb 15, 2012 | Impressive Places | 2 comments

Thought I’d share a few of my favorite shots from a scouting excursion at Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge in southern Georgia. What was there to see? I half expected to see the place loaded with alligators and pristine swamp landscape, but in February at the recent fire-ravaged east entrance, there was mainly vast stands of mature longleaf pine forest along the Chesser Island Homestead Trail. It was beautiful scenery for a foreigner, but just one of the many ecosystems that comprise the Okefenokee Swamp.

    Wow, those are really nice pictures! I especially like the 3rd and the 4th ones; and it’s really neat how in the last two, the trees reflect so well in the water!

    Keep up the good work!
