Managed a day near High Island – a great rookery there that provides a ton of entertainment for those who like critters.
You never know what you’ll see there – and while I’ve some stock concept shot in the mix, and a nearby bridge which is a well known landmark (and will translate to dollars for me at some point) there’s a good mix of critters here.
Anyway – thought you might enjoy seeing that spring has sprung in the south.

Hey Kendall. I saw we posted at the same time! Nice to see you still working.
Zoomed through your awesome images and will have to go back through more slowly a second time. Very nice. Great owl pics.
Bluebonnets close to being out?

That place is special – folks can do well there if they’ve a mind to. The rookery is really amazing, and soon it’ll be filled with chicks (only a few have hatched thus far). Made me really whiney though – I *want* long glass (shot all those with a 70 – 200 IS 2.8 Canon – without a teleconverter).
The owl was a treat – was on my belly shooting that rabbit I stumbled on when I noticed him above.
Bluebonnets are out in some places – I’m hoping they’re not gone by the time I go to El Paso, which is in about 3 weeks – but I fear they’ll have had their best showing already.
Sure is a special time of year down here.

Nice shots Kendal,
They really make me think that I really need to get over my paranoia about snakes (the gators don’t bother me so much). It looks like I’m missing out on some good photos (and fishing) because of it. I wouldn’t go as far as to say I have a phobia of snakes, but if I see one I get anxious and am not able to enjoy whatever it is I’m doing even if I know for certain that it’s not poisonous.
Well, it’s mostly been an issue since I moved down to Texas. Water snakes in especially freak me out. While I was born and raised in Texas (Houston area) I got started in fly fishing up in Maine and got used to going anywhere and doing anything without worrying if I could see where I was putting my hands and feet (which means I spend a lot more time looking through a lens and not where my limbs are when I’m in Maine). I still get outside (I fish the Guadalupe quite a bit). I just don’t get off the paths much when I’m fishing closer to home (currently Sugar Land).
I’m in the inverse; grew up in Northern Minnesota, where you worried more about bears than snakes.
