The Bayou Teche . . . It had our full attention!

Bayou Teche 

Beginning in Port Barre,   Bayou Courtableau took us sweetly into the mouth of the upper Bayou Teche. The bayou's swollen banks allowed for a swifter paddle on this particular day. Temperature, in the mid 60's. . . perfect for a morning paddle!

Fellow Paddlers

The first stage of the Bayou Teche did indeed have my full attention. The sights and sounds on the bayou were everywhere! One just had to take notice. The prothonatary warbler, better known as the swamp canary could be heard high in the rustling trees. A young blue heron stayed close as if to imply she had treasures she wanted to share.

My fellow paddlers were eager to point out their slithery find with Andrew and myself.  A diamondback water snake taking in her lunch!  We too stopped for lunch . . . a picnic lunch. We ended our paddle in Leonville.

It was an enjoyable day on the bayou!  To view more imagery click here.

"The Colorful World of Laura"

The greatest thing a human being ever does in this world is to see something . . . To see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion, all in one.     ~ John Ruskin

Laura sees life clearly through a lens colored with love.  When Laura was young she would turn on the music box and dance.  Her toes pointed and hands held gracefully towards the heavens.   She had an ear for music that made her want to dance . . . dance gracefully that is.   Hence, our Laura has danced for 13 years.  More importantly,  she has danced her way into all our hearts with her love for life!  Her smile  and laughter are contagious and her hugs are some of the BEST anyone will EVER receive.   She is our straight arrow!!   Just ask her.

Taking Sr. portraits for my girl was not an easy task!  Her sisters came along to see what goes into a Sr. portrait.  Claire realized it was a lot of work and decided to stay in the car for some.  Ellen came out and gave us a hand or something like that!  Gotta love those sisters!  I still can't believe your 18!
