Here's some of my photos from that drive: I'll get out of the truck for next week's post and sweat some … Continue reading Chasing The Roseate Spoonbill – More Window Time (Part 6)

Storytime (Part 2): Turned Around

Which Way? Ever felt that way, where you don't know which way to go? I started this story a week before last but completely forgot to post part 2 last week with my griping on the heat last week! So let's continue... I did a little walking around the tails of Lake Monticello the other … Continue reading Storytime (Part 2): Turned Around

Wildflowers And Bees

For today's Muddy Water and Cypress Trees post I'll look back at some pictures from 2016. I drove out around Seven Devil's WMA just east of Monticello and took a few pictures of some wildflowers along the roadside and if I remember correctly found one of my favorite snacks, Wild Muscadines. These photos have become … Continue reading Wildflowers And Bees

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)

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.

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.

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
