Louisiana’s Creole Country, Colorfully Preserved (NY Times)

From The New York Times:

"Come April, the streams and sloughs, bogs and bayous of central Louisiana bloat from rejuvenating spring rains, watering a landscape in full flower. Deep in the Kisatchie National Forest, wild azaleas blaze trails with pinkish-white clusters, sassafras trees glow brilliant green and hikers stride through glades dotted with the lavender blossoms of blazing star. Kayakers rouse turtles that belly-flop off sunny logs with splashy kerplunks. Pileated woodpeckers wail out their shrill, laughlike calls".
