"57 Channels and Nothing On"

These little beauties come up randomly in my yard after a rain.

Feeling politically exhausted?

Keep this in mind:

Power is temporary. Precedent is powerful.

Every political tool used by one side can, and will, be used by the other in the future. This isn't a time for despair, but for documentation and organization. The pendulum will swing back.

With everything going on in the world today, the Cracker Barrel logo seems trivial.

The obvious advantage of streaming over movie theater movies is you can watch them at home. The secret weapon of the streamers, particularly when it comes to movies where the characters have strong accents: subtitles.

Let's deport politicians who don't have "positive attributes and contributions"

We don’t deserve them.

Did you know the Purple Gallinule is sometimes called the "Swamp Hen"? These birds are incredibly agile, using their super long yellow toes to walk right on top of lily pads! #FunFacts #Birdwatching #Nature

So much to do.

Nest to build, eggs to incubate, babies to feed...and of course, spiders to eat.

Bois D'Arc WMA (5/31/25)

The little blue heron has a fascinating transformation? Young birds are entirely white, often mistaken for snowy egrets, until they gradually develop their slate-blue plumage.

While they may nest in colonies, Little Blue Herons usually prefer to hunt alone.

More from a recent trip to Bald Knob Wildlife Refuge.

I was hoping to see it catch breakfast, but much to the disappointment of both of us, that did not happen 🙁

I have a 150-600 that I use for my wildlife photography. Your pics are awesome, by the way.

Blue Grosbeak. Photographed at Bald Knob Wildlife Refuge (4/26/25).

I followed an entire flock for about 20 minutes and these are the best shots I could get.

Apparently, they weren't in the mood to pose.

Sunrise visit to Bald Knob Wildlife Refuge (4/26/25):
The most plenteous bird was the Greater Yellowlegs.

Time to clear out my queue to make room for pics from my trip to a nearby wildlife refuge.

Roses from my yard.

Wisteria fun fact!

Did you know those beautiful, fragrant blooms are actually pea family members? 🤯

And some vines can live over 100 years! 💜

Sweet Gum blooms? Yep, they flower! 🌳

While we often focus on the leaves & gumballs, here's the lowdown:

* They have separate male (catkins) and female flowers. 🌼
* They appear in the spring! 🌸
* Those blooms eventually become those infamous gumball fruits.

Carolina Jasmine (Gelsemium sempervirens) is blooming!
💛 Gorgeous, fragrant yellow flowers, but remember: it's NOT true jasmine and all parts are toxic. ⚠️
Still, a stunning addition to a southern garden.

The first few years, this little beauty was all yellow.
Each year she has more and more of a red tent.
Apparently, Mother Nature intended for Roses to be red.
#BackyardPhotography #roses

Always the first rose in my yard to bloom.

This year, bonus points for what appears to be a baby grasshopper posing for the picture.

Imagine being small enough you could wrap yourself several times over in a rose petal.

I put news and political accounts on a list, so on the rare occasion I'm in the mood, I can have a quick look.
