Located on a great floodplain between the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers, Marais Temps Clair (French for ‘Fair Weather Marsh’) is an oxbow lake, remnants of a former channel of the Missouri River. These days, the land is mainly managed for waterfowl habitat, but an abundance of frogs and a variety of flora can be found here too.

Just the other day, I posted numerous photos of mushrooms. Here are some more, and this time I was a bit more careful with my picture-taking. The area of this photo is adjacent to a swamp, and I was eaten alive by mosquitos. I found out that mushrooms do not grow on swampy ground — but this drier upland area had an abundance.
