  • Winter Delights

    I was so excited about and inspired by the appearance of the great horned owl nesting in the oak tree at Camp Dularge last weekend, that I decided to take photos of the flowers that are still blooming despite temperatures that have dropped close to freezing a couple times already.

  • Wild Hibiscus

    This flower is locally called “wild hibiscus”. The book I use as for identification is Wildflowers of Louisiana and Adjoining States (out of print). It says this flower is from the “mallow family”. This Web site calls them “rose mallow” or “swamp mallow”. http://home.howstuffworks.com/rose-mallow-swamp-mallow.htm So, those of you who had any of the above words…

  • Satsuma Pecans

    If you’re new here and not from south Louisiana, you might not have heard of the fabulous Satsuma, so be sure and buff up on the topic so we might all be on the same page. Locally, the Satsumas are still on the tree and nearing the time that they will be over-ripe.  I took…

  • Got honey?

    Springtime.  Flowers.  Blooms.  Pollen.  Nectar.  Honey.  Bees.  Bees? When was the last time you sat in your yard in the middle of a clover patch surrounded by wild honey bees?  Probably not since your childhood. Chances are, if you do see a honey bee, it belongs in a white box in someone’s back yard.  Wild…

  1. My guess would be the Fiji Islands and you had a traveling companion named Wilson who looked like a soccer ball.

  2. Really haven’t any idea, but its on the coast. Not La. or Texas. The wind is blowing. Really rocky and steep coast line. And some how I can tell you are enjoying your vacation. Bill

    1. You’re right on 4 counts: On a coast. Not in LA. Not in TX. And I did thoroughly enjoy myself!

  3. I’d forgotten your maiden name was Wilson..Of course I was referring to the Tom Hanks movie “Castaway” and his soccer ball Wilson and was not implying that the Wilson clan look like soccer balls.

  5. I wondered where you’d been! Lucky you! Given the palm trees, the palmettos, the rocks and the wind, I know where it isn’t: anywhere along the Gulf coast. The palms pretty much rule out the NE, and it doesn’t look like California, so I’m going to say the islands: maybe the Virgin Islands? Wherever, I can’t wait to hear about it!

      1. Yes. In the 1970’s my husband and I hitch hiked to Mexico and ended up staying in a grass hut near Tulum. We slept in hammocks and enjoyed swimming in the gorgeous water and walking in that talcum powder sand. Our breakfast was prepared by Sra. Cancheb, who was our hostess. We also bought fish and she grilled it for us over an open fire. Snorkeling at Chel jai (sic) where the senotes met the salt lagoons provided exquisite visions of exotic colorful fish. Memories for a lifetime. It was hard to return to our regular lives of school teaching and college student. Your pictures conjured up lovely memories.

          1. 1975, so 40 years ago. Cancun was only a gleam in a developers eye. There were rumors that Cancun was going to happen. Pure heaven.
