This photo came about in the stunning Caddo Lake swamp where towering cypress tress and knees jut out of the water in every direction. I had kayaked out to place myself in the middle of some dense clusters of cypress knees and immediately this winter wren made his way in front of me, hopping from one towering cypress knob to the next. The only lens I had on me at the moment was a 200-600 and for the next hour or so it never left the 200 position as I tried to work in as much of that incredible environment as possible.
