Trees with Knees.......

Took my good friend Alfred (www.flickr.com/photos/alfredlockwood) to see the World's premier venue of the beautiful virgin giant Bald Cypress.

 

Mother Nature served up an eerie/misty daybreak for us that morning.....a photog's dream.....

And though it was a bit late this year......we hit the peak color on top of that. Guess Alfred brought us quite a bit of luck.

 

While navigating the boat, I spotted this group of cypress surrounded by a nice cluster of cypress knees. The Cajun French name for these is Boscoyo (pronounced boo-ski-o).

For a Cajun Country explanation on these.....here it directly from Alfred's new friend:
