Louisiana Trip

Just got back from a nice trip to Louisiana. Started off in Shreveport on Tuesday for work, went to Baton Rouge on Wednesday for a meeting, and ended up at home tonight. With the work driving included I drove over 30 hours in three days...but I got some nice photos on the way home!
I stopped by the Atchafalaya NWR as I always do if I'm in Louisiana anywhere near I10 and Baton Rouge...then went to a new place called Martin Lake, just south of Breaux Bridge. I read about Martin Lake in a magazine and it's a great spot for viewing wildlife...mostly wading birds and reptiles. The levee trail was closed due to aggressive female gators guarding nests...so I was a bit bummed about that...but sub-adult gators were basking and swimming around in other areas.

I'll get the shots from the trip uploaded to the galleries soon.
Thanks to Jennifer and our GREAT client for a wonderful trip and thanks to the guys for dinner last night...a 2 lbs porterhouse is never a bad thing! I'll end with that...and hopefully have something to post soon from down south...planning on a little snake adventure in the next couple weeks...I'll keep you posted.
