a walk in a Louisiana marsh







Recent cold fronts have made walking in the marsh and swamp more comfortable again. Record heat and a large crop of mosquitos and gnats chased us from there this summer. Teeming with wildlife and composed of vast marshy wetlands , it can be a real adventure made safe by the wooden walkways and cleared paths.

The cooler weather had also made the alligators and snakes dormant. When we last visited in the spring the place was crawling with them. This time we were content with common moorhens and American coots.
