Five of us went out to Lake Martin for some kaying in the cypress swamp.
 |
| Here we go. |
 |
| There were these beautiful light purple flowers all over the swamp. |
 |
| But then we also saw plenty of these alligators too. I never did get totally comfortable knowing I absolutely had to keep the open side up. I really did not want to find myself in the same water as this guy or his bigger brothers, or even his littlier brothers. |
 |
| But it was a gorgeous kayak. Normally I don't like just kayaking on a lake, but this was surreal being in all the cypress trees, the hanging moss and listening to all the bullfrogs croaking. |
 |
| We also saw lots of water birds. Lake Martin is part of the Cypress Island Conservatory and much of the area is restricted because it is a rookery to many wading birds. |
 |
| Out in the middle of the lake there were places like this. We believe they were duck hunting blinds for duck season. |
 |
| On our way out we spotted this house. Notice it is 4 stores high, but only 1 room wide. What a strange house. I sure would like to get inside. |
