Autumn foliage in the Okefenokee
I’ve always wanted to rent one of the small powerboats to explore the parts of the Suwanee River on the Fargo side of the park. Today was cloudy, cold, and windy, not ideal conditions but we gave it a try. There was no one out on the river but photography was difficult. My thoughts were to come back with my kayak and do a lot of paddling to get to the forested areas. I stayed out about 3 hours and managed to cover a lot of ground with that little boat, something that would have been impossible with the kayak.
After my outing I drove out to the Suwanee Sill and the water levels were lower than I have ever seen. The roots on the cypress trees lining the sill were all exposed, and it gave the eerie feeling that the trees were going to walk away. There is always something interesting going on at this refuge and it continues to be one of my favorite places to photograph.
