A recent trip to Lake St. Joseph in Newellton, La., yielded this batch of photos. I like this last one for I did not notice the little fish in the photo until after I had looked at the photo on my computer. I don't know what kind of snake that is.
One of my favorite lakes to photograph is Lake St. Joseph in Newellton, La. I meandered there in the last few days and found some old friends waiting for me. These alligators were spotted in front of Winter Quarters, a historic home located on the bank of the picturesque lake. I've spotted alligators there each time I have ever visited. Alligators are usually shy creatures, not wanting to appear in many of my photos. But the fella at top had not a care in the world and let me shoot photos of him to my heart was content. Now that is the way to relax!
