January 2025. A freak snowstorm hit south Louisiana for the first time in my life.
I stood outside for hours with a Ziplock bag on the lens while the birds kept eating.
This is the rarest light I’ve ever been gifted — now it’s yours.
Water that never stops talking.
Cold, clear, rushing over ancient stone like it’s late for the sea.

Mallard in classic green, steady and sure.
Wood duck painted like someone spilled a sunset on him.
Same water, two different ways of wearing light.
Which one feels more like the duck you’d stop everything to watch?

Sunrise: world waking, cool sand, quiet gulls, light climbing from the sea.
Sunset: world resting, warm sand, loud gulls, light sinking into the sea.
Same horizon. Two different promises.
Which one calls you louder?

Heavy frost on the grass.
Breath rising like smoke.
The bull steps out of the fog as if the mountain itself exhaled him.

Red against white. Winter’s quiet rebel refusing to leave.
She owns the storm.
Does this cardinal look like she’s waiting out the snow, or daring it to try harder?

Cold, fast, oxygen-rich water feeds everything: trout, otters, insects, warblers, bears drinking at dusk.
Clear water = living mountains.
Protect the streams, protect the Smokies.

Squirrels plant forests by forgetting nuts, spread fungi, feed predators. Chaos with a purpose.
Little architects keeping the woods alive.
Respect the tail.
Who knew the chaos agents were actually on payroll?

Feeders empty. Salvias bowed.
No cardinal flash, no bluebird scolding.
Counting days until the yard is loud with neighbors again.
Who’s missing their backyard crew right now?

Coneflower stands broad and steady.
Cardinal flower burns at the water’s edge.
Each draws its own visitors to the same small space.
Of these four flowers, which one most defines the life it brings to the garden?

Maple ignites. Sweetgum burns in precise points. Oak holds its color deep and muted. Hickory glows through the slow surrender.
Each tree falls on its own terms.
Of these four autumn colors, which one most captures what fall means to you?

Most trees still green, but a few show scattered color.
Does this hint of autumn belong to those trees, or does the surrounding green make the color seem more isolated?

Ducks on a Louisiana pond, scattered but never alone.
Each one keeping an eye on the others while pretending they’re not.
The challenge: catching every eye across the whole span.
Of these four sections, which duck seems most aware it’s being watched?

Today over 200 roam valleys empty for a century.
Reintroduction doesn’t just restore numbers—it reshapes the land.
Is bringing back what was lost worth the decades it takes?

Water moves through the silence, carving its patient course while mist rises from every stone and root.
Does this stream seem to flow through the fog, or does the fog itself seem to flow with the stream?

Ghosts of the unquiet whispers through the columns, the staircases, the mirrors that never forget.
Some places don’t let go.
Does this picture look like a place where the dead would linger?

Ridges holding first light.
Fog rolling through valleys.
Trees rooted against every storm.
Quiet after everything falls silent.
Of these four moments, which one most reminds you why mountains are worth the climb?

Fog that refuses to leave.
Elk breath rising like steam from the valley floor.
Mountains teach us to wait for what’s worth seeing.
What’s the one mountain moment that made you understand why we keep going back?

Strut concrete cathedrals, coo at crumbs, flash iridescent necks under neon.
We call them rats with wings.
They call the skyline home and never complain.
Respect the pigeon.
He’s been here since Rome.

They just paddle through ice, quack at sunrise, and make every pond feel like home.
Mallard flash, wood duck neon, teal lightning, hooded merganser crown.
Four ways of owning the water.
Thanks for the daily joy that floats. 🦆

While sales scream, one spotless fledgling claims his winter yard. Mealworms, frost, stubborn grace of staying put.
