near Houma, Louisiana USA
A typical waterway scene from my “home” in South Louisiana. More photos of South Louisiana trees can be found in previous episodes of Sunday Trees.

That looks so beautiful…something like the picture that the song “In the river of my dreams” by Billy Joel would evoke. Ah..but you talk about alligators and monsters..!!! Spoilsport!!:-(
The green borders and the meandering, shallow waters are so very typical of the areas around Houma, LA! I was always amazed at why the trees did not simply rot, when on childhood trips with my parents to visit relatives near here!
Thanks for stopping by my blog. Love your photograph–gorgeous. And love your title. I use a dragonfly as my avatar, as you can see.
pretty cool shot..the green on the green ont he water is pretty vivid and makes a nice contrast to the empty trees///i miss me some LA cooking…
I imagine being in a little kayak paddling my way through there. Wait a minute, Becca…are there creatures in those waters that keep people from doing just that?
Only alligators, and of course, Swamp Monsters!
I knew you Southern Girls kept secrets from the rest of us!
Becca…
the composition of the photos is so wonderful…and the contrast of the spring green and blue of the water against the starkness of the trees is elegant in my book.
Thank you for sharing.
Peace,
Siggi
Oh, thank you so much, Siggi! I appreciate it very much!
Becca, very nice!! I hate to do this to you but; I don’t know who all is playing this game and it is TOTALLY optional, but I had to pick 11 people, so TAG – you’re it; http://terri0729.wordpress.com/2012/02/26/tag-i-guess-im-it/
interesting scene. the trees provide a “frame” don’t they?
The trees do provide a frame to the bayou’s waterways! Thank you for visiting, Geraldine!
The scenery is beautiful but I guess I’m a bit confused as I thought you lived in Texas. Oh, well, that would be me…confused. lol
You are not confused … I do live in Texas, Renee … but I do not consider it “home”! My heart will always be in South Louisiana, no matter how many years I live in Texas!
Thank goodness! You made my day. I have Fibromyalgia and the older I get the more the lack of sleep affects my memory so I am always left wondering.
