Bayou Swamp

July 6th, 2008 by sallad

I’m sneaking the neighbor’s wireless connection, so I’m making this fast.  It was a wonderful day.  Mama C took us to a newly-opened nature center in the next town over.  It was beautiful and I have many photos to come, but here’s a quick preview — these are just from the rest stop on the way there.
