Photo Weekend: Cypress Gardens, Magnolia Cemetery, and Downtown (Friday)

Enjoy picturesque views along 3.5 miles of walking/hiking paths which loop through the swamp and gardens. (Members can walk as much or as little of the loop as they photography cypress tress, birds, and other swamp life). Arriving in fall you could possibly see Pied-billed Grebe, Eastern phoebe, House Wren, Winter Wren, Golden-crowned Kinglet, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, American Robin, Song Sparrow, Yellow-rumped Warbler, White-throated Sparrow. Butterflies remain plentiful and the striking Purple Hairstreak is notable. This is the prime fall month for observing the leaf-color change in deciduous plants and trees. The needles of our only deciduous conifer, the Bald Cypress, turn rust-brown

Entrance Fee: $10, collected on day of entrance
