Swamp Shooter
Uploaded: March 22, 2010 07:47:45
This is Charlie Martin, our guide for a day in the swamp and a nature photographer himself. He was most often out of the boat, in his waders, trying to quietly push the boat as close to wildlife as he could manage without bothering the animals. This swamp was near Vacherie, Louisiana, and although one wouldn't ordinarily think of a swamp as beautiful, it truly was beautiful to see.

Perfect for the theme, Mitch! I have no doubt the swamp was beautiful, but I admit I'd hesitate to get out of the boat and tromp around in it (waders notwithstanding)! #8472457
