My wife has never accompanied my daughter and me on an Okefenokee excursion. She isn’t really one for roughing it outdoors. And every time I mention “the swamp”, she pictures an ugly dark, muddy, gloomy place. I have a hard time convincing her of the beauty that can be found within the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge. And maybe I shouldn’t try! I don’t want to rob her of her rejuvenating time alone when I run off to that ugly Swamp!

Lovely photos, William. I had to chuckle when I read your post. My wife has the same attitude about birding. However, she does have issues with her feet, which makes walking any distance an issue. I have convinced her to accompany me on rare bird chases, and she enjoys seeing the special finds. If she doesn’t want to get out of the car, she reads on her iPad in the car.
