I found these images some time ago and was waiting for the right post, when a colleague of mine was asked over lunch what it was like growing up in northwest Louisiana and she replied, "It was all alligators and armadillos."
I grew up in southeast Texas. Alligators and armadillos, indeed. Though I saw 'dillos dead on the side of the road more often than I saw them as part of someone's living room light fixtures...very Texan-kitsch.
