THE CREATIVITY PROJECT // FURRY FRIENDS
A Photography Theme Blog Circle

I’m taking some artistic liberties with my interpretations of this month’s photography theme because my subjects  are neither furry or friendly. But since it’s not everyday that I  get to photograph wildlife in the bayous of Louisiana, I figured I’d share these from the recent swamp tour we took during our time in New Orleans.  It was both fascinating and absolutely terrifying to see so many alligators up close and personal!  To continue the circle, make sure to stop by S Badiyah’s blog to see her take on this month’s Creativity Project theme!

*We did our swamp tour through Cajun Pride Tours.  We had a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend their services if you’re ever in the area.

Life with Kaishon - Maddy! That is so cool! I am glad you could go on that awesome adventure. I loved looking at the alligators. Did they snap at you? I can’t wait to hear more about your trip! I am so thankful that you are able to live out your dreams and travel so much. What a joy!

Buckeroomama - Thanks for the tour, Maddy! It really did feel like I had a tour of the bayou through your photos. What a great capture of the croc slicing through the water; I hope you weren’t really that close and that it was captured with the help of a good zoom!

Pam D - Maddy, those are fantastic captures! I want to go to the bayou now (but I’m a little scared… haha!) The gator shots are excellent, but I think I like the turtles best.
