Mission Statement
Our website is dedicated to documenting and sharing the natural beauty of Southern Mississippi and the Gulf Coast through personal photography, trip journals, and stories—with a special focus on birding and the wonders of Mother Nature. Created for the enjoyment of friends, family, and fellow nature lovers, this site offers a glimpse into our explorations and encourages a deeper appreciation of the region’s unique environments.
Rich – photographer
For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved the outdoors, animals, and every form of nature. My photography grew out of that love—a way to express myself and share the beauty I find in wild places. I favor candid shots that capture movement and the quiet ways nature connects and overlaps. The more I learn, the more I discover how much there is still to learn—that mystery keeps me excited.
Patty, who I hope will add her own short bio, is an extraordinary birder. She hears and identifies birds almost instantly, often asking, “Did you hear the ___ or the ___?” we all know I am practically deaf and hear nothing! Patty has birded around the world with her friend Hap and many others, building an amazing life list. Her birding and my photography fit perfectly together. I’m even starting to recognize a few birds myself; just the other day, I proudly identified a chicken.
