A Thing For Cyprus Trees

I have a thing for Cyprus trees.  The shapes are interesting, and I love how they live against all odds of nature.  We found these in a swamp along the Natchez Trace Parkway today.  I know there’s a rule about taking landscape photos in harsh sunlight, but I keep forgetting…. 🙂

      The water was very still, and the sunlight helped with the shutter speeds because I was hand-holding at the longish end of my 18-135 zoom. On a “perfect” overcast day I would not have gotten the great reflections or the bold colors of the green leaves and blue sky.
