| Grand Bayou Street, Bayou Corne, Louisiana |
You'd think a street named Grand Bayou Street would be at least a little grand. But even calling this a street is a over-reaching; it is more a lane.
Perhaps because of the many recent rains and the higher water, this stub of a road called Grand Bayou Street was chock full of wildlife out for a stroll.
Look at the photo at the top of this page. Do you see the 15 speed limit sign? Now look up a little ways and to the left, just past the curve of the road. That's a gator tail.

As I creeped up the lane, birds ambled in front of me.

I couldn't help but think of Stephen King's short story, The Mist, where a section of Maine was engulfed in a rolling fog from whence nightmare versions of everyday spiders, birds, and the like swooped out to prey on humans. Not that this is a thing in South Louisiana. But it could be. On a hot, dark night. On a little lane named Grand Bayou Street. Next to a gigantic, bubbling, sulphuric sinkhole.

I saw a big galoot of a gator slide into the water, but a little further on, I saw this pretty girl stay by the road until I got very close, and then she, too, moved into the water.

This is Louisiana, so there was the ubiquitous oil/gas line:
