If you Google “fall color in southern california”, one of the first few results will be The Huntington. Due to our warmer climate, fall color arrives late here. So last month, madame and I headed to The Huntington for her to see the additions to the Chinese Garden and for me to take some IR shots.
I was so impressed with the fall color, particularly in the Japanese Garden that I vowed to return. The day after our visit, The Huntington allowed reservations (they limit visitors due to the ‘rona) for the next two weeks to be placed and I got a reservation for the next day, late in the afternoon to get some golden hour sun.
Lance Begnaud II, 27, of Broussard, and Rene Romero Jr., 41, of New Iberia, died from injuries sustained in the Dec. 14 collapse at the mine operated by Cargill Deicing Technologies.
Avery Island is a salt dome surrounded by marsh in lower Iberia Parish, which borders the Gulf of Mexico. It s not an island in the traditional sense. That is, it s not surrounded by a body of open water, Shane Bernard, historian and curator for the McIlhenny Co., wrote on his blog in 2016. In fact, it s located about 3 miles inland from the nearest body of open water. But it is surrounded on all sides by wetlands either grassy salt marsh, wooded cypress swamp, or slow-moving, muddy bayous.
