I was used to the Gulf and clear water and not the black waters I now live on, but after a time I learned to love the beauty of the bayou as well.

It is very mysterious and can be frightening but, once you give yourself up to it, it is beautiful - a place of discovery. Your description is perfect, maybe the best I've ever read.Sandy Codyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02824301408180614516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5079931541460049406.post-28857391816611902822014-02-24T06:39:19.231-08:002014-02-24T06:39:19.231-08:00Sofie, your duck boat sounds great, and I know the...Sofie, your duck boat sounds great, and I know the marshes of Virginia must be as relaxing as my little bayou here in Mississippi.

Now, if I can get a few minutes with the bathroom door locked, I'm lucky. :) Maybe I'll have to find that duck boat again.Sofie Couchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11702484708743477860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5079931541460049406.post-56806840120976832352014-02-24T06:01:51.326-08:002014-02-24T06:01:51.326-08:00Jealous and take me on the next one.

That fueled our imaginations and our imaginations fueled our desire to share some wonderful stories.<br /><br />Great post Fran!Kathye Quickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04952763179663503451noreply@blogger.com
