Horseshoe Lake is a 2,400 acre shallow lake in Alexander County, Illinois. It has 20 miles of shoreline and the water is just beautiful. Although the trees are bare this time of year, I love to look at the base of the trees that is just above the water.
I tried to get pictures of the ducks on the lake, but they were quick. They just wouldn't pose for a picture. You will see the dark headed ducks are the hens and the green heads are the drakes.
Thanks for stopping by to see the cypress trees and a few ducks - Judy.

I didn't know Cypress tree grew in the north; I always thought they were found in warmer climates. Thanks for sharing.

The collage looks like a cover or chapter opener for a textbook or brochure. Very nice job!

It's interesting to see the trees sitting in water like that. There isn't anything similar here. Nice photos!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting trees!! I don't think I have seen that variety before! I can see why you are fascinated by those trunks!!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. We live in Indiana on a lake but I can't say I have seen trees like these. Blessings,
