This past Saturday we left Fairview Riverside State Park, one day early, and headed to Purvis, Mississippi. We are staying at my brother and sister-in-laws home on 160 beautiful acres. We left a day early in order to visit our nephew visiting from Texas. We are having a great time.
I followed this little guy around for a few minutes while he hunted bugs. I guess he decided to just let me take his picture. “Just get it over with so I can get back to eating”.
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……
wings of the sea
beauty displayed on waves
searching for morsels
Too far away to capture good photos, but they reflect life on a lake in Natchez State Park.
In the forest, who knows what you will see,
While on a hike, or riding a bike;
Hear, f eel, just be.
~
A bird singing a song,
A bug traveling along;
Hear, feel, just be.
~
A butterfly drinking nectar,
A beetle saying, don’t give me a lecture;
Hear, feel, just be.
~
A flower looking forlorn
A deep, red bloom reborn;
Hear, feel, just be.
~
In the forest, who knows what you will see,
Hear, feel, just be.
I took these photos in Ray Roberts Lake State Park.
