Or this little fella.

The south is different than anywhere else in the US; and no single thing contributes more to the south's unique feel, in my opinion, than the Live Oak. Nothing screams dixie like a big live oak with spanish moss hanging from it's huge, gnarled branches. Here are a couple that I liked.






Alright, that was technically more than a couple. But, you get the idea. Louisiana (at least the parts away from New Orleans) is beautiful. I can't wait to go back. I want to get to know the bayou, the Atchafalaya, much better.
