We were in this swamp for dawn. It never happened, the sun itself never happened. This was a day before the hurricane and it was weird already.

Swamps are hot and wet, that’s a given. However we couldn’t look through the lens there was so much humidity. I kept a cloth and paper towel in my hand.  Now the scene is set LOL.

I was walking to meet up with Ellen, we were getting out because the thunder was getting close. Turning to look back I noticed the bump / stump that had been in my path. I didn’t remember it so I watched for a minute.

The bump spread his wings and lift up into the big Live Oaks.

Above, the bump and I looked at each other right before he pushed off further in the oaks.

Note; around here you always stop and look at ‘football’ shaped bumps. Usually in trees though.
