I will never get tired of your bayou shots, Bill--and you know I'm in line for the first of your Louisiana Bayous calendars! (Did you know that you're going to make a Louisiana Bayous calendar? ;) lol I especially like the composition of this one; there is something so pleasing about the arrangement of the large trees on the left and the smaller trees in the background, with the water flowing toward the back. Keep these landscapes coming! #6227601

Kathleen K. Parker level-deluxe July 24, 2008

I do not tire at all of your bayou shots, Bill. Keep them coming. Lovely composition! I agree with Colleen about the calendar!

Melissa Olsen July 25, 2008

Personally I never get tired of these wonderful images. However, after seeing your truck near the water and realizing that you are actually in a boat floating around with critters below...I wonder...have you lost your mind? My imagination conjures up all sorts of things like snakes hanging from trees, creepy crawly bugs and etc. LOL
Keep'em coming Bill! #6229047

Reynaldo D. Reyes level-classic July 25, 2008
