FYI, Cypress knees also grow around the cypress trees in yards and play havoc with lawn mowers.

It makes me so mad that people do not retrieve their crab pots.

[@catherinemonaco5910]

All these things are not weird for us who live in Louisiana . We love it here . If you come to visit , do so in the spring or fall . Weather is better then .

[@midilou]

We were often told, “You caught it - you eat it!”

[@womanofsubstance8735]

Not weird for many others, either.

[@chateaumojo]

I lived there when I was a kid. I LOVED it! Except the Jim Crow part.

Bayou Corne sinkhole. The whole town was evacuated and abandoned. I’d be pissed. Do you think they got what was monetarily due to them. Probably not. They had to fight tooth and nail for what they did get. Big Corp always wriggles out of being responsible.

LA swamps are amazing! We took a swamp boat ride near Houma LA. Lots of animals.

Some of the snakes pictured were not coral snakes but milk snakes they are non-venomous.

[@melodyhart1331]

The nutria are good to eat,they are a clean meat as they eat roots and nuts of the wild plants in the swamp, the caw fish are also prized as Louisiana cuisine. The alligator meat is vey good fried.

[@capsarg1]

It was all interesting, thanks.

[@downbntout]

Methane bubbling! So it's not just from cow burps

[@Zorbakozak]

Similar to the Republicans in Congress; when they farted, they would give the person next to them Covid.

Except cow farts are healthier.

[@catherinelarkin247]

delicious conifers? De-sid-u-ous meaning it looses its leaves.

[@flwrangler]

Every day things for those from the Bayou! A few other things, cemeteries are usually above ground, it's called the bowl city because it's lower in the middle than the ocean. Many areas depend on constant drainage. It's from Nutria we get musk oil for cologne.

[@valerieadams5656]

Really

[@earlinejackson8151]

Cypress knees form on mature trees as a backup replacement plan. They will remain as knees until or unless the mature tree is no longer there. When the sun from the angles the parent tree shades the knees no longer is shaded from them, the knees will begin growing into cypress trees. The cypress trees that have a large conical base before extending into a straight trunk grew from knees. The cypress trees that grow more or less straight up from the ground without the conical base were grown from the seed of the cypress trees. But the seeds will not grow unless they are blown far enough from the tree to be in their own sunny spot.
