The morning started out foggy and gave some great photographs.

Some things were hidden too though. If the sun hadn’t been low over the swamp and streamed through duck weed I would never have noticed them.

The first two images I leaned over the edge to get some branches to frame the big guy. I could see the sun in his eye so I grabbed these quick. In the shadows but some nice drama.

Next one I spotted I just went for the shape. He was buried in the thick weed.
