Reblog

Last week, Paul Zoeller of the Summerville Journal Scene visited the Audubon Center at the Francis Beidler Forest. He published his photos and reflections on his experience on the paper's webpage. The only correction we would offer is that there is no river associated with the swamp. The open, sunlit area was Mallard Lake, a deep hole in the swamp that always holds water and therefore denies trees the opportunity to germinate.

As Paul has done such a fine job of capturing the complexity of the swamp and the need for multiple visits, we will simply "reblog" his work here!
