L: Is for LeapinLizardsLuscious Leaves!

Will you look at this! I totally leaped over the state of Louisiana (18). Here again is an example of the Founding Fathers just not too enthused about using certain letters. But “L” is being represented, so who’s arguing. This post is out of order, but that’s all right — it’s the blogosphere.

And look at that swamp will ya’! There may be a number of big lizards floating around in those mirky waters. It looks like the Creature of the Black Lagoon might be hanging out there, but this place has it’s own story of a creepy inhabitant, called the Honey Island Swamp Monster! Oh no!!! That’s what some of the folks around these parts say, and others say not so. Anyway, it is an example of autumn… shriek… gulp! Let me move on to others…

…this is more like it. Look at the luscious contrasting colors of the leaves against the backdrop of the green grass, and then add the luscious sunset down by the Bayou. Since I forgot to put this state up before the “M’s”, I just have to make up by having three photos. They don’t have many examples of fall color, probably due to the humidity factor down there, but the specimens above and below are both oh so loverly.

While here, I wanted to check to see how things are faring in New Orleans since the Hurricane Katrina devastation. That was some disaster, but things are slowly improving. Hopefully they have learned some preventive methods to keep something like that from happening again.

I haven’t been to the “The Big Easy”, but what about you?
