Louisiana - My Home

America's Wetlands

My home is being destroyed by big oil. Big oil and stupid government. Our fishermen and the people who work in the oil industry will have no jobs for a long time to come.
Our wildlife is now coated with oil from the oil gushing from the BP well in the Gulf of Mexico since April 20. Coated with oil and dying.
Our marshes are dying from the oil and along with the marshes go a way of life. The shrimp, crab and fish estuaries as well as the oyster beds will die.
All for the sake of greed of the black gold. Disgusting.

What a gorgeous scene - especially with the birds. Let's hope the damage can be minimised. The worry is that it will happen again.

This is fantastic Coleen - superb shot of these beautiful birds in their habitat...I just love that Spanish Moss, reminds me so much of the Bob Hope classic "Cat & The Canary"
