Below: These pink flowers were everywhere.
A cute fat swamp bee. They'll kind of buzz your head, but they aren't aggressive.
My mom is visiting, and yesterday we drove out to the Jean Lafitte Barataria Bay Preserve, about 40 minutes outside of New Orleans. ("Proceed to the swamp" was what Mom wrote on our dry-erase board in the morning.) It was totally cool! And it was free, too. But when they say "Watch out for poisonous snakes" they're not kidding--on the way out, we almost stepped on a fat water moccasin that was hanging out right beside the path. Which really made us rethink the times earlier in the day we snuck off the trail to take pictures. Nature is fangy down here.
