Description
Cypress Trees stand tall, they grow strait up to the sky! No bends no curves! You find them all over the south. They only grow in or around water and are well known for there unique root system! They have knees!!! Well that is what most people call them. The knees grow up from the roots and form small bumps that can be seen in my photo at the base of the trees. The water is stained a brown tea color as a result of the trees. On this day I was by the Hillsborough river in Tampa, Florida, last winter and I took this shot. It was a cool and calm day with a bright blue sky!!! I hope you enjoy "Stand Tall"
