I didn’t put a filter on these photos, but they appear more vivid in the photos than in real life, but they are still purple

On sunny spot on trail near the edge of the swamp.
Near view of the turtle train.

Flew from woods into yard about 30 feet away, stayed for a minute and flew back into woods. Unbelievable!

Successful predation event on what looked like a ring-necked snake.

I have been told that the small fish at Bluebonnet Swamp are Sailfin Mollies and Mosquito fish.

At least some of these seen to be Sailfin Mollies (??).

Anyone see a mosquito fish in these pictures?

Sandy uplands. Private property

Planted in a suburban lot in Baton Rouge. I’m surprised to see the leaves fallen so early,

In total, six moths grasping on to the leaves of a dead/dying branch of boneset on an otherwise living plant. Very cool, very unexpected

Some type of wold berries. I zoomed in.
