After two horrible days driving in my great new RAV-4 (had to change from my Tacoma truck at the last minute because of a bed-topper door problem, and leave my kayak behind), I finally arrived at New Iberia to start this photo mission. Had crawfish etouffee on the Bayou Teche tonight.
Spent last night in Montgomery, Alabama. Left there at 8 AM, and it was 80-degrees. As I passed the MGM airport, the skies darkened. There, the Alabama Air Guard static displays of an F-84, a RF-4, and a F-16 reminded me of our great DUer "trof," who was once a fighter pilot with the ANG before his airline career. But just west of MGM, the sky went black. The temp dropped 15-degrees in five miles. By the time I got to Selma, it was 46 in a cold, hard rain.
I hopped out of the car in Selma, and made some shots of the iconic Edmund Pettus Bridge. I'll post those as soon as I pull them out of the camera. Not tonight.

In the mid-1990s Rodrigue's Blue Dog paintings,[5] based on a Cajun legend called loup-garou, catapulted him to worldwide fame."....(more)
