Out and About: Bastrop, LA

Greetings!

I absolutely love sharing pictures from my many travels! This week I’m showcasing a lesser-known city in America. Bastrop, Louisiana is a small town located 30 miles south of the Arkansas border. The population is just under 13,000 and feels like the type of place where “everybody knows your name”. I visited this friendly town last week and was captivated by the simple, rustic beauty found in the least obvious places (old buildings, a cemetery, and a swampy bayou).

As I wandered around town a quote came to mind:

“Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places” - Camille Pissarro

Amen!
