LA Gulf Coast

As you can tell, it was another cloudy day with rain

interspersed as we traveled west to Abbeville, LA.

We picnicked right on the coast of the Gulf

of Mexico.  All sorts of birds were swooping

about and we saw fish jumping out of the water.

It was rather peaceful and quiet.

We were entertained watching this white

heron zoning in on some sort of action 

going on.

Pink American Poppies dotted the side 

of the road...

...along with Black Eyed Susans.

Barge canals, like this one, are all over the

Gulf of Mexico.

Imagine our surprise when we found out that

sugar cane is grown in this region.
