Ocala Forest Edge

While "touring" some of Florida's rivers with fellow NPNer Mike Ramy in his boat mostly working on bird photography, I did grab a few scenic shots. When I saw this view of a small, backlit bald cypress tree along the edge of the St. Johns River on my monitor, the jungle paintings of Henri Rousseau came to mind.

Yes, Grant, that's a Little Blue Heron on top of the Cypress, scratching it's nose.
