An Uncertain Adventure
Caddo Lake, deep in the heart of East Texas, is a unique swamp filled with moss-covered Bald Cypress trees, abundant wildlife, and a remarkable, biodiverse ecosystem.
But for a few weeks in the Fall, this special place transforms into a magical, mystical hideaway that offers some of the most beautiful fall colors the South has to offer. Pastel colors atop the gray bald cypress trees, with perfectly still waters (and sometimes a layer of fog rising from the water), can create lasting memories and an amazing photography experience.

During the workshop, we will stay in beautiful lakeside cottages/cabins in Uncertain, Texas - just a few minutes away from the boat launch.
