There’s only one thing I like better than looking out at the bayou first thing each morning . . . looking out at the moon setting over the bayou.
Once again, I really need a tripod. I took this with no flash, holding the shutter open as long as I dared, while backed up against a porch post to hold steady–but sill not steady enough. I remind myself while I’m shooting, that professionals shoot hundreds of shots just to get that one perfect shot.
Today, Termite and I spent about 10 hours on the water exploring and just enjoying a beautiful day. We made a huge loop starting at our house and going up to Falgout Canal to Decade to Mechant and home by way of lower Bayou Dularge! On the way, we fished here and there with not…
It was a beautiful day watching the shrimp jump and the gulls dive. Only thing better than that was watching our Cantaloupe Pogeaux Pops go down, down, down. We ended the day with a box full of trout and tired arms!
Gone are the days when his ancestors stalked buffalo on the Louisiana prairies. Gone also are the days they used tomahawks to slay their supper. But Houma Indian, Rickey Verrett, still stalks his prey and still wields a hatchet on a regular basis.
Memories There are just so many things going on right now that I want to tell you about, none of which warrants an entire blog post of its own though. Not only that, but everything is just so beautiful, bountiful, lush and green right now that I have way too many photos to share, and it…
This is the first in the series of 14 little stories about the true, but short, life of our raccoon. Each installment should be ready at 8 each morning if you want to make plans to read a story a day throughout the holidays! I hope so much that you and your children enjoy this…
After five years of writing this blog, I think we’ve formed some friendships and kinships here. For that, I am most grateful on this day. There are, of course, many other things for which I am thankful, as I know are each of you. If there is one thing that stands out to you as 2012 comes to a close, please share that with us in the comments section below. And because Christmas is rapidly approaching, I am going to give away a photo. All you have to do is comment, and there will be a drawing later.
That’s pretty amazing for no tripod. The one thing I like most about digital photography is the way I can take hundreds of photos, and just DELETE the ones I don’t like. I take so many more pictures now that I don’t have to pay first to decide I don’t like them.
Oh I agree that digital makes things so much easier, and cheaper!!! The green dots are the only thing I don’t like about the photo. Not sure what makes those appear. Need to do a little more homework, because there was no flash involved. That was all natural light.
It looks pretty darned good to me. I am surprised we didn’t see each other out there – I was on my porch trying to get the same shot last night. Yours came out a lot better than mine!
You still managed to get some beautiful shots of your view, though!
