Lake Martin Wildlife Sanctuary


Most of the locals call this area around the lake Rookery Road.  At one time you could drive around parts of the lake and observe the nesting Roseate Spoon Bills and Herons as they raised their babies.  This photo was taken around sunrise and it wasn't long before the kayakers were paddling out from the boat launch.  Some were fisherman, some were photographers, and some like my-self (on dry land) were observers.  Cajun Swamp Tour specializes in boat tours on the lake.

It's endless summer rains and high humidity, but not today.  It's just alarming how fragile the coast is.   Now I realize some would say this is only land and nature will repair itself,  but will it?  I pray for all of the people who are dealing with all of the natural disasters that are taking place in different parts of the world today.

Most likely to fix what hurts this morning.  Any way they should give a thank you to all the cane farmers for growing that sweet sweet nectar.
