A simple scene of grasses emerging from a tranquil pond on a cool, foggy February morning at East River Pool at St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge in the Florida panhandle. St. Marks Refuge is one of my most favorite places as it offers such a great variety of subjects from swamps, marshes, woods, beach, birds and critters, while at the same time offering myself such a great amount of peace, recharge, and release.
