Some old houses, trees and a gas station in New Iberia, Louisiana
I took these on a recent trip to my mother's hometown.

The next (kinda spooky)house  belonged to a relative who was a US Senator.

1. Absolutely beautiful - thank you for sharing!

I lived in Louisiana for a while and I really miss it sometimes, particularly around April and early May which I always thought were the best times to be in south LA. Your photos have triggered (and partly assuaged) that 'homesickness'...

10. There are some amazing old trees there.

We saw one oak that is estimated to have been planted in the 1630s.
Glad you like the photos!

Thanks for checking in! So happy you enjoyed the photos.
There's a park in New Iberia that has an old Navy jet on display. I asked my mother to pose beside it with her hand on the wing.......
