    Below are my images from the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge posted in one convenient contact sheet for easy viewing. They are organized by date and location. Each section begins with large-sized, high resolution photos suitable for print, posters, banners etc. and then followed by smaller images formatted for web/social media use (1080 pixels). 
    The high resolution images are available for purchase by emailing directly, or through Dreamstime.com. Images may also be donated to non-profit and/or educational entities for the purpose of promoting and protecting the Okefenokee Swamp. Please contact William Wise for details and copyright release. ​
