Finally, had the opportunity to get close enough to capture a few photos of the Great Egret that has been fishing on the banks of the Tchefuncte River here in Fairview Riverside State Park. On our daily walks, I have seen this Great Egret standing perfectly still, then stealthily moving along the shore like an experienced mime.
However, unlike a mime, the Egret is not entertaining us. Instead with a skill necessary for survival and honed over time, it is hunting with focus and determination.
It gives me great pleasure to observe and photography these beautiful, regal Herons. I wish she would have caught something!
We experienced wave after wave of rain last night and this morning it is still raining. Unlike a Colorado rain, which last for a short period of time, these Louisiana rains last all day, all night and all day……
Take the time to enjoy wildlife and always enjoy the Journey!
These photos taken in Fairview Riverside State Park. I don’t know what they are; however they are beautiful. We are in for a rainy day with 100% rain predicted.
Singing their nightly lullaby of rich, deep notes,
Listen closely, green tree frogs,
Revealing stories of the day, expectations of the night,
Who attends your story time?

Dusk begins to blanket the woods,
Inviting shadows out to dance,
They present a choreographed musical of enchantment,
For whom are you performing?
~
A walk in the woods.
Expectations fulfilled.

All photos taken at Tyler State Park, near Tyler, Texas. We spent two nights there this past Saturday and Sunday. We experienced fall all over again!
After leaving Ray Roberts State Park, we headed to MCD Innovations in McKinney, Texas, for seven nights, where we had our coach blinds installed. I promise a write up on the installation and process. I can truly say, we love the new MCD blinds.
Leaving McKinney, we traveled to Tyler State Park, where all of these photos were taken. Then to Lake Bistineau State Park in Louisiana for a night, finally leaving Texas! I have some photos of Lake Bistineau that I will post. We wish we would have had more time to stay a few more days there, but just ran out of time.
This afternoon we arrived at Natchez State Park, near Natchez, MS and will leave in the morning for Fairview River State Park in Madisonville, Louisiana for eleven nights. We are looking forward to being in one place for a little while. Hopefully, I can get caught up on my blog, answering comments and visiting your blogs!
I took these photos, in my yard, the day before we left Colorado at the end of October.
We are currently at Tyler State Park near Tyler, Texas. We plan to leave in the morning heading to Lake Bistineau State Park near Shreveport, LA.
I am behind in blogging and hope to catch up, in a few days, sharing all our experiences since leaving Ray Roberts State Park. All is great! Back in a day or two!
