Bayou Desiard To The Southwest
Uploaded: August 12, 2008
Bayou Desiard near Monroe Louisiana. I have never heard screams to the southeast or southwest part of this bayou. Screams have always been to the Northwest mostly and a couple of time to the Northeast bank. Bill

IT'S A GREAT IMAGE HERE.Denny E. Barnes August 12, 2008
Then the south end is the place for me..LOL Another very beautiful scene, beautifully captured, Bill!! And be careful in that north end.:>)....Denny #6305442A P August 12, 2008
Which means it's quiet and peaceful!! Ah to float amongst these beautiful trees and hear nothing but the wind .... must be wonderful!! I love the series Bill. Keep them coming. #6305447Barbara Waldoch August 12, 2008
Screems? :-)Michelle Alton August 12, 2008
What a truly magnificent Bayou capture, Bill. The colors are just brilliant! #6305510Donna La Mattino Pagakis August 12, 2008
So rich and beautiful Bill, great design and scenery! #6305581Bill Knaps August 12, 2008
Thank you Karu, Denny, Ann, Barbara and Michelle. I appreciate all of you very much. If you notice Denny I took that picture of my truck on the South End. No Way I will put my truck near that water on the north end. My luck a gator would get by my door and not want to let me in my truck. I would not dare get caught there after dark. I would walk if necessary to get away from that bayou. Those gators roam in the early eavening for cats, dogs or anything they can find to eat. Not me. If I find that shot with the dark hole in the middle where I heard that critte scream I will post it. Bill #6305590Deb Koskovich August 12, 2008

When I look at your pictures I can almost feel that thick, warm air that is the deep South. Makes me miss living in Mississippi..... #6310525Bill Knaps August 13, 2008

Your Bayou series is just beautiful, Bill. You really do get a real sense of all its beauty despite the heat and humidity. I would stay clear of the north, however...just to be on the safe side! #6311817Bill Knaps August 14, 2008
