What you lookin' at, fool?
You lookin’ at me? Well, then, take a picture. It’ll last longer!
Better like this?
Or better like this?
Okay, enough posing. I’m outta here.

Deep in the wetlands of South Louisiana, people are rebuilding above the flood plain. Read about one bayou family’s journey upward.
“C’mon, you can do it! Just climb up the ladder and get up here!” Uh, no thanks. I think I’ll wait for the steps. “Hey, could you guys hurry it up a bit? I want to get inside and check out the house now that it has been elevated.” “Well, if you didn’t change where…
It’s a Reading Treasure Hunt, and it goes like this . . . and the prize is a BW 8 x 10 original photo.
Meet Citrus Reticulata, better known down the bayou as plain, old satsumas. Some folks who grow them in their yards just refer to them as oranges. However, the term orange does not do this fruit justice.
The past two days on the water were wonderful – losing sunglasses, breaking rods, losing anchors. I heard it’s called paying your dues. Can you believe this? Termite did NOT want to go fishing today. Rather stay home and do math, grammar, and reading comprehension. So, I made him come with me before he could…
Humans aren’t the only victims during and after hurricanes. Often, animals are left behind for various reasons–hotels and shelters don’t allow them; some are too big, like cattle, horses, and goats; and some are wild, like the kittens at my house. Day 2: Our first trip down the road. and water was still flowing across…
What song was he/she dancing to?? Too funny!
The “chicken song” Katy Bug! I need you to write me!!!
I wish my thighs looked like that!
Green heron or Night heron. I feel the need to du de Du soon.
Lean on Darth for me…..
Blu, maybe you just need to offer Timothy James (Darth) to pay for the whole trip and then he can come? He told me he was too broke to come down! But I did lean on him!
Is that a mature bird? Hard to tell his size. His colors are soooooooooo beautiful. I think the males of all the bird species are always “purtier” than the females.
Steffi: our male species are the ones generally blessed with the long, dark eyelashes, great skin and better cheek bones. Us females? We have Maybelline! Just my thoughts.
Of course, I love all the herons, but I especially love these. It is a green heron, and they are much smaller than all the other herons. So yes, I would say it is no longer a juvenile. He is a newcomer to the place where I photographed him. Typically they are more shy than the other herons, flitting from bush to shore to eat and not hanging out in the open for too long at a time. But this one was a captive subject! Pretty much had him cornered!
Green herons are beautiful! We saw quite a few of them in FL.
If he’s a Green Heron, why is he blue? Is it because he’s lonely? LOL
I think the photo color is a little off from reality because he was more dark green than blue. I should have adjusted the color, I guess.
Tried that with all the yankees, no bites. Harder to lasso than dolphin on porpoise. That’s gonna leave a mark…..ouch.
Them birds hide in the shore reeds and cat tail here. Had one over in Indiana that liked my old gray plastic boat couldn’t hang on to gunwales though. Tried three aborted landing… Usually they flush out right at your head then back in the reeds.
Mute swans however will kill you coming out of the reeds. Different story….
Blu, are you speaking in code again? None of the yanks want a paid trip down to bayou country? Maybe you should check your mouthwash and deodorant! LOL!!!
Kids, jobs, and women are main issues. Legal and stuff are others.
Saw a green heron at E tonight. I took it as a sign the bluegill were gonna hit and they did.
