AUGUST 12

Nibletts Bluff, Louisiana

Fisherman in the reeds.
Pretty morning at Nibletts Bluff on the Sabine River.
I was taking a photo of the riverbank when I noticed this fool fishing in the reeds.
No shirt or shoes, in the reeds with mosquitos, ticks, chiggers, poisonous cottonmouth snakes and
a 15 foot alligator that was spotted a few days earlier.
Hopefully he caught a few bass and went home in one piece.

like the depth of field and the lines here. Cool perspective. No alligators in these parts?

It is a gorgeous and serene landscape. Maybe that peacefulness fooled the fisherman. Beautiful image. V.

A lovely scene, even if the fisherman is living dangerously.

I love those lichen-draped trees! This does look like the bayous! V

Born & bred in the bayou -- so what if the gators got his granny; he don't need no stinkin' shirt or shoes : )) Great slice of green local color, Lynn!!
