"Bayou Beautiful" Deep within the heart of Louisiana's Maurepas Swamp sits this very serene bayou scene. Imagine pausing here for a moment of peaceful reflection, amidst cypress trees and moist air that filters softened sunlight through the canopy above. The quiet stillness is occasionally perforated by sounds of bullfrogs, Barred Owls, and egrets calling. It is truly a beautiful moment to savor deep in the far reaches of the bayou. ©2011 Lisa Langell Photography. All Rights Reserved.
