AN AFTERNOON AT THE SWAMP

Heidy-Ho, Blogging Pals!!

It has been a little busy lately but I believe I promised you some photos taken by my friend, Charlotte B., during our afternoon at the swamp (AKA Lake Martin Bird Sanctuary just outside of Breaux Bridge, LA).  Without further ado...
Welcome to Lake Martin

Huge beds of Water Lily-like plants

Adult Egrets squabble in the trees

Juvenile Egret looking for lunch

Adult Egret checking out some lunch, also

What do you see in the little slew near the grass?  Look closely!

OH!!  That's what is lurking there!!

I was so excited to spot this H-U-G-E turtle sunning himself!!  Charlotte kindly accommodated my request for a photo.
I do hope you have enjoyed our little ride through the swampland!  We had a lovely time looking for good photo opps.  I would never have known this place existed but for Charlotte!!  Be sure you listen when a friend suggests you do something you've never done before.  You just might be amazed at what you find.

Until next post...
