Holey Toad!
Escatawpa Hollow State Park, Alabama, March 2026 Literally! John took MacKie out for some sun, and his cat became fixated on something. It turned out to be a 6 inch brown lizard. It was the correct size for an Anole Chameleon, but it looked wrong in the coloring. After putting MacKie back inside, John went…

Bogue Chitto Scraps
Bogue Chitto State Park, LA, March 2026 Several days we found very little when we drove the park to check the ponds. Either it was the wrong time of day, we were unlucky, or the weather was cloudy. These are pictures from the Bogue Chitto scrap days. This day we found nothing but a few…

Bogue Chitto Ponds

The park is located beside…

Poverty Point Parkway and Lower Jackson Mound
Poverty Point Parkway, LA, February 2026 John had glimpsed something about the Jackson Mound that made is sound impressive, so we planned to stop by it today.

Poverty Point Marina (Again)
Poverty Point Marina, LA, February 2026 In the evening, Kate went to the marina while John was working on something. She said that she saw wondrous things, such as unicorns, flying pigs, and a 1937-D 3-legged buffalo nickel. John wanted to see the wonders of the marina, so we went back the next evening. Before…
