Chasing The Roseate Spoonbill – Let’s Ride The Levee (Part 5)

I'm still trying to get a picture of the Roseate Spoonbill. Let' review a bit this journey. I saw one flying over a couple weeks ago but couldn't get a picture of it, since it's been on my list of wanting to see one up-close and get a photograph of it. It's been very hot … Continue reading Chasing The Roseate Spoonbill – Let’s Ride The Levee (Part 5)

Flourished…

A couple of weeks ago the bible study group I am apart of read Acts 12. A verse that really hit me in this study was: But the word of God continued to spread and flourish. -Acts 12:24. In life when I get the most frustrated then here comes the word of God, speaking into the … Continue reading Flourished…

We Need Water!

I guess the theme here this week is the heat. I've mentioned my tomato starts here before. Last week in the heat when I checked on the plants they looked pretty pitiful. After some water they looked much better the next day when I looked at them.

It’s All Relative

I'll give a little peak here to a coming Chasing Roseate Spoonbill post. I went out yesterday to look for birds and since it's cooled off I decided to do some walking. I guess "cooled off" is relative since what it cooled off from! It was still hot! I'm thankful for the cooler breeze we … Continue reading It’s All Relative

The Kingfisher

For this week's Muddy Water and Cypress Trees post I'm going to look back on one of my older photographs of a Belted Kingfisher taken at Choctaw Island on the Mississippi River in 2011. (I can't believe it was that long ago.) Seeing a Kingfisher is not that rare as I've seen many but this … Continue reading The Kingfisher

Chasing The Roseate Spoonbill – A Road Trip South (Part 4)

I'm still trying to get a photo of the Roseate Spoonbill. I saw one flying the other day but it was too far to catch a photo. In today's post about this goal I decided to head south on a road trip in Ashley County and visit both Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge and Overflow National … Continue reading Chasing The Roseate Spoonbill – A Road Trip South (Part 4)

Bartimaeus

Last week I had one of those moments I'm very thankful for. I was invited by several friends to attend The SEARK Men's Summit put on by First Baptist Church of Monticello. In this meeting there was a great time of eating, worship and a message from God's word. The message preached included the story … Continue reading Bartimaeus

Pollinator Patch

For today's garden update I was planning a new project but with the heat wave we are in right now I've decided to wait. Since there's not much going on in my garden right now I decided another look at my pollinator garden was good. I like this patch because there seems to always be … Continue reading Pollinator Patch

Storytime (Part 1): Turned Around

Ever been turned around when you're out and about in the woods. I don't say I've been lost but just confused a time or two. I want to share about my most recent experience being turned around but first I'll talk about the first time I remember it happening. The first time: In college (I … Continue reading Storytime (Part 1): Turned Around

A Ride Around The Delta: The Deer

Let's continue with some Muddy Water and Cypress Trees by looking back on some of my favorite photographs and the story that goes along with it. Let’s continue the ride through the delta of Southeast Arkansas. It was the end of January 2016. The Mississippi River had flooded and pushed quite a few whitetail deer … Continue reading A Ride Around The Delta: The Deer
