Still, glassy water at first light, tall bald cypress trunks rising in staggered depths with their knees breaking the surface. Spanish moss hangs in loose curtains, and a low cabin on stilts sits back among the trees, its porch posts mirrored below. Cool greens, pewter greys and soft dawn gold, with pale mist drifting between the trunks and pooling over the surface in rich, layered brushwork.
