So I invite my reader to settle in and enjoy this brief tour of some of the incredible biodiversity that can be found in the Lonestar State. Instead of breaking these images out into smaller posts I decided to make one giant post covering the last several months. So I decided to start writing, and in reliving these memories I found my spirits instantly lifted. In doing so, I realized that there were a great many images that I have captured during short day and weekend trips that I had not yet posted. Thinking that a trip down memory lane might help rekindle the flame of my passion for the natural world, I recently went back through the many images I have taken this year. Fortunately, I have always overcome them, and returned to this passion that has helped to shape the purpose that I feel in this thing we call life. I think that slumps like this are only natural, and I have certainly experienced them in the past. Because of the oppressive heat, and a variety of events in my personal life beyond my control, I have found myself lacking in motivation to pick up the camera and get out and explore. The last month or so here in East Texas has been plagued by a barrage of heat waves that have made spending time in the woods unpleasant at best, to downright miserable at worst.
