Speaking of wrong turns….
I left Turtle Bayou around noon and crossed the Texas Border into Louisiana heading toward O’Brian’s Flying Service. In the town of Iowa, Louisiana a wrong turn down HWY 383 brought me to Boogah Red’s Vegetable Stand and family farm,in Buller La. After purchasing watermelon, tomatoes, green chile, squash and other goodies I made photographs of the Newman Family and friends. As the sun set on us, in the swamps and farm country of Louisiana, I was invited to park the airstream next to The Newman’s barn for the night. Tonight, the whole family would be working late into the night sheering sheep for a livestock competition that their daughter, Jayde is attending tomorrow. Hours later as the sheep quiet down and the night slips away I had the feeling that I really did make the right turn after all.
