Description
On a crisp winter stroll through the Great Swamp the colors of the leaves at the bottom of the water appeared bright and clear in the reflection of the trees branches above. The Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) is one of more than 560 refuges in the National Wildlife Refuge System that is administered by the Department of the Interior's U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Great Swamp is here to conserve its natural resources for the America public while protecting threatened and endangered species for future generations. The National Wildlife Refuge System is a network of lands and waters managed specifically for the protection of wildlife and its habitat. It represents the most comprehensive wildlife management program in the world.
The Great Swamp NWR is located in Morris County, New Jersey, about 26 miles west of Manhattan's Times Square. The refuge was established by an act of Congress on November 3, 1960. Today the refuge consists of 7,768 acres of varied habitats, and the refuge has become an important resting and feeding area for more than 244 species of birds. Fox, deer, muskrat, turtles, fish, frogs and a wide variety of wildflowers and plants can be found on the refuge.

This shot turned out great - love the way the leaves in the water are highlighted by the tree shadows.
Beth Ferris Sale replied:
Thank you Terry. It really was such a neat thing to see the leaves come to life in the shadows and like a moment in time it only lasted for a few minutes before the sun went behind the clouds.
