COLORS OF THE SWAMP
|
|
|
|
The swamp comes alive at the end of each day as the color pallette of the sky embraces every color known to man and the sounds of wildlife sing in harmony.
|

|
|
|
Down sank the great red sun, and in golden, glimmering vapors Veiled the light of his face, like the Prophet descending from Sinai.
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Evangeline
