Photo of The Day #7 : A Day At The Pond

 This picture was taken at Trap Pond State Park in Delaware.  It happened to be just a beautiful day and I had to get a shot of the pond! 

"Trap Pond State Park retains a part of the swamp's original beauty and mystery, and features the northernmost natural stand of baldcypress trees in the United States. The pond was created in the late 1700s to power a sawmill during the harvest of large baldcypress from the area. The Federal Government later purchased the pond and surrounding farmland during the 1930s and the Civilian Conservation Corps began to develop the area for recreation. Trap Pond became one of Delaware's first state parks in 1951."  -http://www.destateparks.com/park/trap-pond/index.asp
