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.

Springtime down the bayou signals that it’s time to enjoy not only the weather but one of our cultural trademarks–the crawfish boil.
Candlelight service, left to right: Daboo, Captain, Termite, Miah, Danno. You don’t see Dotter and MuzicMan in the photo because they were leading the music. Afterward, off to the boys’ house for food and gifts. Dotter with gift from her hubby MuzicMan. . . a Willow Tree piece called “Together”. MuzicMan with thoughtful gift of…
Well, it’s been two years in the making, and it’s finally here. In conjunction with the La. Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, Coastal Angler, and the La. Outdoor Writer’s Association, the first ever Louisiana Youth Angler of the Year Essay Contest is being launched TODAY via this blog (coming soon to other newspapers and magazines…
Yes, I’d like to have someone rescue my homestead; if only I had a homestead TO rescue. As the veteran blog followers know, we’ve had some struggles staying put where we are down here in the coastal marshes of south Louisiana. Oh yes, we stay by choice, because no matter what else is going on…
Recently, I had the opportunity to do some winter speckled trout fishing with Lyle Johnson of Ascension Outdoors TV show. Lyle is always fun to compete with on a fishing trip; although I never set up the competition–it just somehow happens. He’s a great sport, and we enjoy the banter, but not as much as…
Last Sunday I played “catch up” at home cleaning house and doing laundry after being ill for a week and nursing sick boys. Dotter took the boys shopping for last-minute items for their trip to Disney. Then we packed their bags in advance! Monday found me dealing with the concrete fiasco and possible solutions and…
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.
