Clyde, Pedro and Eric enjoying conversation
The further we go into the swamp
the more beautiful it becomes
Heading into the depths of the swamp...
...deeper into the swamp....
...and deeper into the swamp....
People often think of swamp water as
being murky, but as you can see here
it is crystal clear and beautiful
Making our way through the swamp
