These first two pictures were taken at Horseshoe Lake State Fish & Wildlife Area in Southern Illinois. This is where we got to stay when we went there for my wildlife biology class field trip. These bald cypress swamps were just beautiful!
These last three photos were taken at Mermet Lake State Fish & Wildlife Area on our way back from S. Illinois. In this last photo, there were thousands of water bugs out off of a dock and they would move away from your shadow and outline your body if you waited long enough. It was pretty cool!To see more Watery Wednesday posts, click here!

What beautiful photos with wonderful reflections and textures.
Great shots. I absolutely love the first two. It looks like you could just walk on that water. And that last shot. I wonder why they move from the shadow. How interesting!
Love the reflections you caught in the second photo!
Interesting about the water bugs. It would seem they wanted to be in the sun - cool shot!
A very wel selected series for WW.
You can see your love for photography in your photos Allison. They are all very, very nice and that last shadow shot story about the bugs must have been super interesting to see.
What a fascinating place - and very beautiful shot! Love the firs two, - and the last! Would like to have seen the small little creatures outline your shadow! Neat!
Fun photos. I'm looking forward to warmer weather and, yes, bugs. OK. not so much bugs...but dragonflies and butterflies.
I was amazed at these photos, esp. the first two They look much more "southerly" or "swampy" than I would have expected in Illinois. Obviously need to check out the latitude of S. Ill. and see what all you have there; can't even guess the species of the trees. Neat!!
Interesting shots and commentary. Thanks for sharing for WW.
Clearly this was taken during a warmer season! Thanks, I needed that today.
And that last shot is fascinating... who knew?
Great shots! Love the shadow thing - how cool is that.
I like all your photos especially the last shot. Do you know there is a photo meme 'Shadow Shot Sunday' and that last shot would be a great entry. Here is the URL if you are interested: http://heyharriet.blogspot.com/

The first two images are amazing to me. I love the unique quality to the landscape and the reflections you have captured!
Very cool about the bugs and the shadow. That must have been amazing. And the sun and water shots are just wonderful.
