On the way to Lafayette, Louisiana Aprill 11, 2010


Brackish water. We spend a lot of time looking at what is just to the right of our bikes at ground level. These days it is a ditch of brackish water. Sometimes there are cattails growing in the water, sometimes ragweed, sometimes just standing water or mud. Once I saw 4 or 5 wild turkeys in the ditch. Another time at a rather upscale community the water and mud was covered with spanish moss obviously placed there to make it look less disgusting. The point is the water table is very close to the surface and the evidence is everywhere. In some cemeteries the dead are not buried, but rather put in vaults above ground. In the picture is such a cemetery.
