Seen on the Bayou

Most of my travel photos are based on international travel.  However, the opportunity to see the everyday with new eyes always exists.  Different walks and bike rides have offered photo opportunities to see things that could be overlooked if I were zipping past in a car.  In addition, not everyone has been to a bayou.  I had to look up the definition for bayou myself because I didn’t know exactly what it was.  My easy thought is a place with many ditches that have water flowing through them and animals that live in or near them because that is what I see as I head to and fro.  However, the true definition encompasses more than ditches because beyond the areas I can walk or pedal are boatable (I don’t have one of those) waterways that seem to meander through landed areas. 

I don’t go everywhere but this is some of what it looks like with more to follow…

By the way, I still don’t know what those jumping fish are that I caught on the one video.  They are quite interesting though.
