Going through some photos of the past couple of weeks for the site, and found a batch that I had not edited during all the excitement of seeing the hatchling for the first time.
Lake O' the Pines, Caddo, and surrounding areas have been hard hit with almost unprecedented rainfall this past week. Thoughts and prayers are with our friends and family who are dealing with the aftermath. And as I'm posting this, it's pouring again! Mother Nature can be a fickle force, and while we all know better days are ahead, that's of little comfort when homes are being threatened.
Hoping that we can get out on the very steadily rising Lake O' the Pines soon and check the nest, and that this little family is also safe and sound through all that is happening around us....
Kristi is a naturalist and photographer who grew up on Lake O' the Pines where she still lives. You will find her much of the time on or near the lake, camera in hand as she photographs birds and other natural objects. She is an active member of the Cypress Basin Chapter of the Texas Master Naturalists.

Super photographs, Kristi. It is so hard to get good pictures from so far away, with the light not exactly at the right angle, and bouncing up and down in a boat, but you did great. Can't wait to get back out there with you and take some more. I still haven't seen the babies yet.
Thanks, Michael. It WAS super exciting. Can't wait for you to see the babies!
