Photo Friday: Swamp Shade

Exploring Honey Island Swamp in the White Kitchen Nature Preserve

As you glide under gnarly cypress trees dripping with moss – in silent awe — through this pristine Louisiana nature preserve — it is easy to imagine scary creatures might be lurking within this river swamp.

Whether or not you believe tales of Bigfoot-like swamp creatures, the Honey Island Swamp and White Kitchen Nature Preserve – a 40-minute drive from New Orleans — is home to alligators, black bears and an “active” Bald Eagle’s nest among its many wild inhabitants.

We visited Honey Island Creek via a tour from New Orleans.  Read about it here.
