[On edit, Peggy, of Camping Tales, identified the "fish eagles" for me as ospreys.] We started our day with a sweet little worship service at the picnic pavilion. Two brothers have been coming here on Sunday mornings for the past 16 years to provide this service for campers. We sang some of our favorite songs, [...]

Superb Nature Photography
Instead of a regular blog post tonight, I’d like to share some amazing nature photography with you. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Nature Shots at Walter F. George COE
This evening I took my chair down to the edge of the canal to see if I could get some wildlife pictures. I got both deer and egret photos. I was thrilled to capture pictures of the egret catching a fish and then taking flight. Unfortunately, the quality of the zoom photos is poor. But [...]

The Land
Daddy’s land. I can’t stay here without being transported back to when he lived on and loved this place. He grew up in the Depression, so had a powerful need to make sure his family would never go hungry. He planted fruit trees of all kinds, pecan trees, two grape arbors, and always had a [...]

PoliGlow on Hold & More Gorgeous Wildflowers
I had planned to PolyGlow the Casita this week. The days are around 80 degrees, so it’s perfect weather for it. But everything is coated with yellow pollen, so I decided that it would be wiser to wait until the worst of the tree pollen season is past. While I was out, I found more [...]

Where the Wild Things Grow
The neighbor down the road with the vicious dogs got rid of them, so now I am free to wander our country roads again. The freedom is indescribable! So come along with me on my walk and share my life in the slow lane.

Spring Flowers in the Woods
This coming week I plan to Poli-Glo the Casita, but today was a day for taking it easy and wandering the woods looking for little flowers to photograph. Sunny went with me, although I don’t know why he wanted to. He hates navigating through underbrush worse than anything. He is not a country dog! I [...]

Spring — Already!
I can hardly wrap my mind around the fact that spring is here again. Or that I have lived here for so many years and photographed the same little flowers– or their parents — for so many springs. Yet, their welcome little faces are always new to me. Everything is very early this year due [...]

Enjoying Autumn
Saturday we drove to the Alabama hills. We decided that even though we can’t camp right now, we had to be outdoors. We couldn’t have wished for a more perfect day… sunny, blue skies, with temperatures in the mid 60′s. The scenery along the winding country roads was gorgeous. We would top hill after hill [...]

Deer in My Backyard
I just looked out of the kitchen window and saw these two deer. I took the photo through the window glass. One of the deer looked up at me, but as I made no move to open the door, she calmly went back to grazing. I cannot imagine ever living in the city again. Country [...]
