There's something magical about a Southern cypress swamp. The towering bald cypress trees draped with Spanish moss, they create a thick canopy that shelters some of the world's most amazing, and complex ecosystems known to man. This week, we're gonna be photographing just a few of the species that make the Francis Beidler Swamp such an amazing place. I'm Doug Gardner, your host. And thank you for joining us for another edition of "Wild Photo Adventures."
