Believe it or not,
That cypress knee is six feet tall.

this cypress tendril connects
OK Slough to East Hinson Marsh
But what struck my attention was at its base:
No water, it was completely dry.
That was back in April
Hard to believe 4 months later it’s still dry.
Meanwhile, across the swamp at Cowbell Strand water is overflowing into the prairies and up into the pines.
