Swamp Walk Photo Workshop

On Friday, February 22, 2013, I went on another swamp walk. This one was also in the Fakahatchee Strand Preserve but in a different location from the one on Thursday.
On this walk, Guy Jacobs, a professional photographer, assisted in leading the walk with the park's biologist, Mike Owen.
This was another activity offered by the Museum of the Everglades during their week-long festival.
