Chasing The Roseate Spoonbill (Finally Part 10)

I've been chasing Roseate Spoonbills since August. I wish I had kept track of the miles. Well, in this week's post on the journey I have finally seen some! I was looking on the eBird site for the date of the latest sighting and to see if I should attempt it that week. I saw … Continue reading Chasing The Roseate Spoonbill (Finally Part 10)

But God…

I mentioned last week reading Courage by Mark Clements. I've finished the book but am going back through the book now. It struck me the other day in chapter 2 these sentences: "But God is not surprised by any circumstances. He is especially not surprised by those of His own doing."

Fall Tomato Update

Let's look at my fall tomatoes this morning. But first, I'd like to show a bouquet of flowers my daughter picked yesterday even from the pollinator patch. My fall tomatoes are struggling, I've lost a few but a few are looking great. I also have some plants from my earlier planting that are looking great!

Another Swamp Picture?!

Again? This Muddy Water And Cypress Trees post is again another picture taken from Seven Devils WMA. I walked around Seven Devils as the water was up in the winter. I caught a glimpse of this log in the water and thought it would make a great photo blurred with several photos. For the photographers … Continue reading Another Swamp Picture?!

I really didn't get too many pictures on this outing but had a … Continue reading Chasing The Roseate Spoonbill – On The River (Part 9)

I typically read about two chapters from the book plus the chapters it is referencing in the … Continue reading Courage

The Summer Pollinator Patch – Still Going Strong

I wanted to give a quick glance at my warm season pollinator patch. It is still doing good!

Out In California

A while back I wrote about a mission trip my family took with our church to the Los Angeles, CA area. We coupled with this trip a family vacation to northern CA specifically Fort Bragg, CA. We stayed in Fort Bragg then visited sites north and south of the town within a good driving distance. … Continue reading Out In California

Back To The Swamp

Last week's Muddy Water and Cypress Trees post was a few pictures from Seven Devils Swamp. For this week I'm going to continue with a picture from Seven Devils, a panorama photo.

Chasing The Roseate Spoonbill – Labor Day Heat (Part 8)

On Labor Day weekend I decided to go back to Choctaw Island West Unit where this all began to walk around some more. Again, I thought it was a bit cooler than it actually was. Thankfully I packed some extra water for this walk. I walked to unit 7 where I first saw a Roseate … Continue reading Chasing The Roseate Spoonbill – Labor Day Heat (Part 8)
