Sometimes you might look at the world and see only the meh, the drab, the muddy exteriors of your surroundings. It’s Tuesday, I get it.
But when the light is just right or you’re a little less tired and you take an extra moment to look deeper, you may find magic just waiting to be discovered.
Here’s one example; click through for photos, which are amazing.
Rainbow swamp: The flooded forest in Virginia that puts on a magical light show every winter
Every winter, when sunlight hits at the right angle, visitors to Virginia’s First Landing State Park are treated to a mesmerizing rainbow light show courtesy of the park’s bald cypress swamp.
I ran across this article and immediately wanted to know more. You too? Here you go!
An Array of Colors at First Landing State Park – State Parks Blogs
If you happen to visit First Landing State Park at just the right time, you might see people transfixed at the edge of one of the cypress swamps. I’ve been there and excitedly said aloud, “Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!?!” to no one in particular, while wearing a very silly grin. Why you ask? Because I saw this rainbow water for the first time.
What an incredible world.
