The drive into River of Life Farm is one of the most spectacular roads for viewing early April to mid-April dogwoods. I some locations on that road, it appears the woods is covered in snow. Once you have seen it, it is very hard to get out of your mind; and makes you dream the Aprils to come. These pictures are from this April 17th, 2009.

Taken at Caney Mountain Refuge (about 20 miles from River of Life Farm). They are also common near the cabins at ROLF, and especially vocal on rainy days. Also, known as Rain Crows by locals. A very secretive bird. One of my favorite captures. Canon 5DMII with Canon 600 f/4 lens while perching comfortably in a thorny Black Locust tree.

I love these birds, this is on the Conservation Departments split rail fence at the office in Caney Mountain Refugee, a must side trip for any visitor to ROLF.

I caught and released completely unharmed, 7 nice smallies (up to 14″) from this run near Indian Creek in summer 2008 with crawdad colored bead-headed jigs.

Always a beautiful time.

This was taken on a cool mid-May evening.

Taken late May 2009 with Canon 1DS Mark II and Canon 100mm Macro lens.

A fairly common scene to anyone who has waded to fish the North Fork above Rainbow Springs near dark. This picture is from May 20, 2009.

This is a Louisiana Water Thrush (warbler), looking for aquatic insects and grubs after higher water in May begin receding back to normal levels. While I visited in May there was about a 2 foot rise after 2 consecutive nights of severe thunderstorms.
