Green Thumb Envy, Part 1
Good morning, friends, faithful readers, and first-timers. Do you feel neglected? If so, please accept my apology this morning. By way of explanation, just let me say that I’ve been digging my way out of a mountain of paperwork, now reduced to a molehill, while feeling a little puny all week. Puny. That’s a good word, a word my father used in reference to being just a little under the weather.
Seeing my swamp through another photographer's eyes . . .
. . . was a very eye-opening experience. This is Chris Granger from the Westbank of New Orleans. It was my professional pleasure to take him on a photo shoot for Southern Breeze Magazine, a Gulf Coast quarterly. His photos will be seen in the summer issue, accompanying an article about this area written by…
Hodge Podge and a Contest!
Hodge Podge – name that photo!
A day in the life . . .
might look something like this . . . After I open my eyes, put the kettle on to boil for my morning tea, I go out on the porch to feed the cats. Then, I put seed out for the hungry travelers like these red-winged black birds and bronzed cow birds. On my way back…
Fishing Off Raccoon Island
It’s a well known fact that the speckled trout migrate to the salty waters of the Gulf of Mexico to spawn, and that they begin to do so when water temps heat up in the late spring.
Name the Bird Contest WINNER!
This is an appeal to all the faithful Bayou Woman readers, and even those lurkers who are always here behind the scenes but never step out into the light of the commenting world: Please tell us what kind of bird this is! My birding expert, using the internet, has now made a positive ID of…


Have to disqualify myself from this one. I’ve got two myself. I hung one on the wall. I’ve also purchased this same item as a wedding gift for several fishermen and women.
Yep, I coulda guesses that! I haven’t used this one yet, so tell me, does the cornbread come out looking like fish?
That is a cast-iron cornbread pan, to make fishy cornbread! So kitschy! And so southern! I love it!
Isn’t it just the cutest thing? My friend from Mississippi came down last week and gave it to me as a “camp warming” gift!
BW your readers are just too smart to pull one over on!
By the way, thanks for letting me stay at Camp Dularge this weekend. I enjoyed the visit and the fun! You’ll soon be booked up with fisher men and women! What fun!
P.S. You might want to post a pic of that huge ‘gator we saw on our adventures for everyone to see.
You are very welcome! It was great having you! I thought the pics would go along with the “joint” sister post we’re supposed to write???
BW, the fish do come out shaped like a fish. Don’t expect to see all the details though. Just make sure to “season” that cast iron GOOD, even if it’s already pre-seasoned. When you fill the fish be careful not to over fill them. It’s much easier to remove the baked fish.
I love cast iron pans… anyone seen a pumpkin one?
