This is the introduction to what will be an ongoing series,  Here, and on Derenda.com, I introduce visitors to the beauty of Southwest Louisiana. This is familiar territory for me! One of the many joys of my teaching career and as the sponsor of the W. W. Lewis Middle School Science Club, was to introduce students to nature. What an outdoor classroom I had then and still enjoy today. In a separate post, the ravages suffered during hurricane Rita will be discussed.  For now, the most important thing to say is that the Creole Nature Trail has been reopened.  I was pleased to have been in attendance and even more pleased to bring you these photos.
