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. #6305447

What a truly magnificent Bayou capture, Bill. The colors are just brilliant! #6305510

Donna La Mattino Pagakis August 12, 2008

So rich and beautiful Bill, great design and scenery! #6305581

Bill 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 #6305590
