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.

I see good things on the way. I think we’re in for pretty weather. I hope I can go fishin’ today! PS My cousin who grew up around New Orleans says this about this moon: I heard that Native Americans call it the Wolf Moon. In New Orleans it’s known as the King Cake Moon….
There is nothing outstanding about these photos. I just want to share with you some of Chaoui’s antics. She is always into something. A friend of mine who has raised wild coons told me she would be a “perpetual toddler” and that I should photograph her while I can, because eventually, she will hear the…
BERRY FILLING: In saucepan, heat 1 QT ripe berries, 1 Cup water, I cup sugar, 2 T butter or margarine. Then add 2 T flour to thicken. Simmer on low heat, until desired thickness. Do not scorch. SELF CRUSTING COBBLER: Sift together in large mixing bowl, 1 C flour and 2 tsp. baking powder….
If you are new to this blog about Life in the Louisiana Wetlands, it’s time you know that once in a while I deviate from the main theme and purpose to bring you what I think might be an inspiring story from a different sector of life. This time, it is about our son with Down’s Syndrome….
Yep, it’s a TV show – “Weekends with Whitney”. Whitney Vann started out about 17 years ago on a TV station in Baton Rouge. She appeared on “Tune In” every day for most of those years. Her days started early, around 3:30 a.m. with makeup, breaking news, etc. One day, she just decided she’d had…
If you missed them, I back tracked and put up four posts about how we prepared for Hurricane Gustav and the following evacuation. Please go back and check them out, if you haven’t already. My family and I are still in North Louisiana experiencing the hospitality and lovely home of LilSis (Heather Here). BigSis 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.
