A day off in Jerry Lee Lewis's home patch.

We had a day off the bikes today, staying on in Natchez, Mississippi where Jerry Lee Lewis performed his first professional gig, having been brought up over the river in Ferriday, Louisiana.
Keith had a recovery day around the motel and Chris and Mandy went to a nature reserve nearby and onto another in Louisiana. Nice to be away from the road and traffic noise.

Down in the Bald Cypress Swamp, St Catherine Creek National Wildlife Refuge. 

Great Egret waiting for fish to swim by. 

Scissor Tailed Flycatcher has been very common in Texas and was seen again today. An attractive bird with a long tail that it opens like a pair of scissors on landing or in display. 

Another sunset over the Mississippi but this time with a visiting "paddlesteamer" tied up just below the venue fly Jerry Lee's professional debut.
