Henry James and Winter



Remembering last year's photos of Louisiana in winter brings to mind a quote from Henry James describing Versailles in winter.

"But all deserted places and gardens should be seen in the chill and leafless season.  Then nature seems to give them up to your sympathy and they appear to take you into their confidence."  

This quote from "Parisian Sketches"  seems to describe perfectly a reclaimed area near Monroe, LA that is now a Waterfowl Preserve.
