I just watched a creepy movie last night with this sort of environment. BUT the red in the water was human blood...I couldn't help but look for you and your camera! #1035986

Nancy (Peaches) Harker November 15, 2008

LMAO @ Bommie, I am sure glad it is not YOU in there, nor anyone else.
AWWWWWWWWWSOME colors and capture Bill!!!
I surley hope I can venture to see this beabutiful place someday.

I am glad to know there are still some men that listen to woman LMAO!

Melissa G. Meiselman November 15, 2008

Beautiful shot of the bayou taken with sharp detail, vivid color and terrific lighting, Bill!!! #6760108

Sam Britt November 15, 2008

Great composition & color, Bill. I don't watch the kind of movies Bonnie mentioned, but I'm curious about the green & red stuff on the water. #6760120

Bill Knaps November 15, 2008

OK First Thanks and Then I have some questions to answer. Sorry that bad movie made you think of me and my bayou Bonnie. That is not good at all. Now Peaches, Really withdrawels. Wow I am thinking another word, but I don't know your age and would not dare say it on here. LOL Melissa you gave me a great comment without questions. Thanks for the great comment. Now Sam you want to know what the red and green are. Blood from when that large gator took that lady from her backyard. Not True. The green and red are both Algae. The green gets that red in it when we have certain weather conditions. Heat and lack of rain or a mix of both. I am not sure which. I don't expect to see red next year because all the heavy rains from two hurricanes have washed it all away. Appreciate all of you very much. Bill #6760162

Nadya Johnson November 17, 2008

Beautiful capture of the cypress trees wading in that moss! Lived there for a time (Louisiana) many years ago... decided then, that the swamps and the bayous were such magical, unique environments. Maybe because I was such a fan of Pogo as a kid! Was a time, at 5 or 6, when I thought just MAYBE there were talking possums, dogs and 'gators in the trees... (Hey, I was a city kid. NEVER figured there was actually a Santa Claus, but Who Knew What Secrets Lay in unseen regions of the moss-enshrouded swamp??! LOL!) They ARE unique and beautiful; and now, I know they are endangered. Makes them all the much more precious! I really did enjoy browsing through your gallery, Bill! And I'll be back to check it often. Have a Very Happy Birthday!! #6766982

Anita Hogue November 17, 2008

Laurie Daily level-deluxe November 18, 2008

I guess these swamp images can bring back some pretty creepy thoughts of the horror flicks we may have seen ( not recently for me...but Bonnie must be into them!!!) Always love the mood your images create...dank, humid, filles with the sites and I can almost hear the sounds...all shades of greens and earthy tones...I would love to wade in these waters one day...but I must admit, I am a little apprehensive. I do not mind floating around in a belly boat flycasting for trout, but wonder...what would I wear???? #6771572

Bill Knaps November 18, 2008

I remember very old movies had swamps in them. Yes Bonnie is the way she talks about the red in my photo. LOL When I shoot this bayou I have the feeling I am in Paradise Laurie. It is so beautiful. You don't want to wade there Laurie. Never and I don't mean just gators. So many critters are in wait there and if you step on one you are bit. See how different it is where you live. A belley Boat. Have no idea what that is. Bill #6771586

Bill Knaps November 18, 2008

Laurie I might add you would want to wear jeans or long pants and maybe a long sleeve shirt and a straw hat. Bill #6771591

Very nice capture Bill! Love the coloring and clarity! My husband's father and family live in Winnfield. We visited last year and I tried to get some shots of the bayous, but they didn't turn out as well as this! Great job!*S* #6782754

Thank you Jacqualyn for your nice comment. Last time I went to Winnfield I was going to a Football Game. I remember seeing a sign on a Barn Stating Welcome Paul Newman. I am not familiar with the bayous in that area Jacqualyn. The Monroe area has the most beautiful bayous I have every seen. Bill #6783918
