"The Tree" (#2 of 3) - a photo on Flickriver

"The Tree" (#2 of 3)

            Pitcher plant bog; Apalachicola National Forest, Liberty County, Florida.

The curvaceous tree in this photo is a somewhat well-known baldcypress (Taxodium distichum) growing with a few other baldcypress and longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) trees in a wet prairie/savannah near Sumatra, FL. 

On May 19th and 20th I explored parts of the national forest looking for interesting plants of both the wet and dry longleaf pine ecosystems. My hopes were cut short to photograph many different plant species mostly due to windy conditions but also by other limitations including unsatisfactory mid-day light conditions as well as mid-day heat and humidity that zapped my energy. Overall, though, I consider it a very successful trip since my primary plant target was found quickly and in numbers. More about that in the days ahead as I precede the more exciting information with a few other less exciting photos that I will dole out a few at a time.
