In the swamps of Lafitte there is lots to look at and talk about. Gators and insects and plant life abound. One such plant is the Salt Marsh Mallow (Malva sylvestris). This native plant has become more evident in the swamps due to the loss of larger trees during Katrina.
More interesting, though, are the shenanigans of two fishermen that recently graced the tiny town of Lafitte, Louisiana. From their last resort, overnight stay at a bed and breakfast that caters to newly wed couples to a nice haul of red fish, it seems my dad and brother made a serious impression on this Cajun town.

Hey dmorris...The 2 cedars are actually fern-leaf hinoki cypresses. They take on a bronze color in the winter and that is what you are seeing. Both plants are healthy and will flush out with green growth this spring.
