Description
This is an image of one of the distinctive Bald Cypress trees in the swamps of the Big Branch Swamps, Louisiana. These swamps / marsh areas are actually on the northshore of Lake Pontchartrain, which makes them a little bit more less common than those south of New Orleans. We only visited this part of the State once, and found that it was actually a great place to take in the many nature trails around this expansive swamp area. My one defining memory of this places was the heat � the blazing heat. That�s expected, of course, in mid summer in Louisiana � but it doesn�t make it any easier to bear! There wasn�t as much of the predatory wildlife in evidence here, i.e. alligators, but for those that want to get out and explore the outdoors in the summer heat � this is as good a place as any to punish yourself!
