Steele Bayou

An early morning drive up Hwy. 465 the other weekend yielded these two photos. 

Many of you have probably wondered what I look like, so the top photo is a self-portrait of me. That's one of the biggest cypress trees I have ever seen in the photo. It's on a bayou along the highway toward  Eagle Lake. The photo is taken right after sunrise.

The middle photo of Steele Bayou is from an angle I have never shot it from — a spot just off the highway. I had to climb up a fallen tree over the water to get the shot, which seemed a good idea at the time. Getting back down was a different matter.

The bottom photo is from a bayou near where the levee crosses the highway near Eagle Lake. The fog was dissipating quickly as the sun had just risen, burning it off rather quickly.

I'll have some neat photos of my recent weekend excursions next week, plus some of the Delta Queen's last visit to Vicksburg, so please come back and visit again. And keep forwarding this blog to all your friends...and enemies!

Tucker Road in Warren County

The lake on Tucker Road that is split by the road is a gorgeous lake that I pass by often. The trees are too tucked around it to get a sunrise or sunset, but it is still quite picturesque. I am sure someone has told me the name of the lake, but I can't recall it now. I go real slow whenever I cross the bridge, much to the irritation of those driving behind me. The top photo was taken last year during the day and the bottom photo taken when a fog had rolled in. It was quiet that morning, very serene.
