Wednesday 11-05-08 was the last day of my vacation, so I dusted off my kayak and took off for nearby 1000 Acre Swamp. Sony H-1 again - auto landscape mode. A little cropping and straightening in PS. It was cloudy and almost noontime.

1000 Acre and many other ponds/lakes around here were "improved" or created by the Civilian Conservation Corps and are used for flood control and recreation. The pond is fairly shallow all the way around and there are tons of these stumps that stick out of the water I thought the lighting on this one was kinda neat and came out with a pretty abstract shot.

1000 Acre is a very popular local fishing hole. I saw lots of fish jumping and a few in the nests (yes, fish nests) near the shore. The state may also stock it with trout, but I am not sure. I've also seen bears, deer, turtles, and a long time ago a snake in the water that was at least 6 feet long. The state park is not very well known, but try goggling Cookson State Forest. For more info - gots to get to work.

We took a nature walk yesterday with the dog around Puddin Head Lake. Yeah, I said Puddin Head Lake. Supposedly there's an old, crotchety alligator that lives in there, but I couldn't find him, and it wasn't for lack of trying!
