Thank you Jen. I appreciate you, your nice comments and your support very much. Bill #7114262Nadya Johnson February 01, 2009
Sensational! Love the mystery and the mood of this; the red algae lends the swamp an other-worldly look. (Hope it's naturally occurring, not some kind of problem with the eco-system??) Beautiful landscape, Bill! #7114426Robyn A. Terrell February 01, 2009
Hi Bill,Joan Powell February 01, 2009
nice to have you back Bill , love the shades of green and the reflection ! #7114477Bill Knaps February 01, 2009
Thank you Nadya. Algae does not turn red every year. I think it is every other year. Summer Heat does it. At the end of the summer it will be red on top of the green. May be burned from the Sun. Don't know when or if we will have red again in my lifetime after the two hurricanes. So much rain washed the algae away and the cold of winter may finishe it off completely. Bill #7114479Bill Knaps February 01, 2009
Naw Robyn the Cardinals. My Kids are rooting for the Steelers. I was a Cardinal fan many year ago. Thank you for your nice comments and your continued support Robyn and Joan. Bill #7114494Judy A. Lawhon February 01, 2009

This one goes in my faves too Bill - love the colour and stillness, that water is like glass. Glad you got so many good shots if you don't think that algae is going to be red again anytime soon : ) -mm #7114899Roxanne M. Bubar February 01, 2009
