At Whiteville, I turned east on WPA Road. For those not familiar with the history of the WPA during the Depression, here's a link They built this road. It goes across the old right of way for the SP Railroad. |
I cast down the ROW seeing this large, fine, farm house. With a jerk, I reeled it in. Now it's mounted below. |
WPA is straight, but has intrigue. |
One intrigue is, "when will it end"? |
This is the backswamp of Bayou Wauksha formed with the addition of Red Bayou. Wauksha, Boeuf and Cocodrie roam this area. |
The dampness spawns palmetto forest. The bridge is for 4 wheelers carrying hunters. There are deer in this narrow protected strip. The rest is open agrarian lands drained of their wilderness supporting waters. |
The fanned plant on the bottom right is a palmetto. Such a beautiful plant. Roots to China. |
Big Foot, maybe. |
An open area is planted with rice. |
Water for the rice field is being taken from the Wauksha by the tractor's power take off connected pump. An electric meter seems to suggest a previous motor driven pump or maybe that's for the new upgrade. Coming. |
This is where I talked to the very intuitive fisherlady. That is not her line in the left of the picture. Her cast were strong and well aimed. "Plunk", I love that sound and I don't fish for fish. Maybe my "plunk" is the click of the camera? |
