a trip down the bayou

On Easter break we took our grandson on a swamp trip down the bayou. Of course, it included many alligators, garfish, and snapping turtles.

 Cemetery with victims of 1915 hurricane.

 Trapper's cabin no longer used.

 Beautiful cypress trees hanging with grey moss. The very large ones were harvested over a hundred years ago for lumber.

Thankfully we didn't see any snakes that day. Generally they are quite plentiful, perhaps the weather was too cool for them yet.
