Just off Interstate 10 a couple of miles past the Sabine River bridge in Southwest Louisiana lies a beautiful blackwater swamp adjacent to Lake Bienvenu. This area is actually behind the Louisiana Welcome Center just west of the city of Vinton, Louisiana. I am sure many travelers through our state don’t realize as they stop to rest, they are within yards of one of the most idyllic scenes for which our area of the country is known.
The first picture is of the Louisiana sign beside the lake. The second is the swamp just behind the sign.

Thank you for such beautiful pictures. I am just recently
retired and want to do exactly
what you have done. I didn’t know
where to get started, now I do.
The pictures I take will not be
as good as yours, but the joy I
will feel to be one with the creation will be extreme.
Thanks for inspiring me.
Laura
