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.

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.

A Trip Out To LA
Last summer (2022) my family went on a mission trip with our church to California. We were there to help with a vacation bible school at a church for kids in the neighborhood. One evening while on the trip we drove into Los Angeles and particularly the Hollywood area. I think there's a TV show … Continue reading A Trip Out To LA
