Limited Edition Model is Teri. Photo was taken in a parking lot in Bossier City. Today (May 19th 2009) I re-read the contract between myself and Teri, and realised that my license to sell these images will expire on 1st Feb 2011. As a result I have decided to offer this image as a limited edition. Only ten prints will be sold, after which it will only be available as a post-card, poster or gift item. When the license expires it will no longer be available in any format. Terry (Frisson) / www.frissonart.com

...about an hour north of New Orleans you start hitting these amazing mansions and plantations, this is the view looking away from the mansion – I found the dual minimal landscape framed by these amazing oaks a cool sight and the tourists played the perfect role.

...love repetition at the best of times, however, finding these extra large scale tyres whilst walking the streets in Franklin, Louisiana was a shot I got so excited about.

Mother and child Great Blue Heron as night falls . . . I thought of the song, “Help me make it through the night” while I worked on this piece. I’d be remiss if I didn’t give my husband Tommy credit for this photo. He saw the mother and child as he was driving in St. Mary Parish. He pointed them out to me, turned the vehicle around, and positioned the truck so I could get this shot. Without his keen eyes, I would have missed this endearing scene. Thank you, Tommy; I couldn’t do it without you!

I don’t often see monarch butterflies, so when I spotted this one at Hodges Gardens near Many, Louisiana, I employed my husband’s help in trying to get a good shot at it. Tommy stood guard at the upper level of the butterfly garden while I posted myself in the lower portion. Thanks to my husband’s keen eye, I finally relocated the elusive flutterer and got this photo of it to which I’ve applied some PS filters.

This image of a male painted bunting was taken in the Atchafalaya NWR during spring migration. The male buntings are very territorial and will fight for territory. These fights could get bloody and even result in death. They are vulnerable to cowbird parasitism. The brown headed cowbird has recently moved into bunting territory in the southeastern US. Some believe this has contributed up to 80% of the decline of the bunting population in the area. Canon 40D / Canon 500mm + 1.4TC / 1/50s f/5.6 at 700.0mm iso1000

I took this photo at Cypress Bend in western Louisiana.

This male Eastern bluebird delivers the grub to the babies in the nesting box in a far different fashion from the way the female operates. She dives into the opening, feeds the chicks, removes debris and waste, and exits in a flash. Her mate, on the other hand, lands on whatever nearby perch he can find, shows off the cricket, caterpillar, grub worm, or grasshopper he just succeeded in hunting down, looks intently in my direction, turns this way and that, and then delivers the goods to the babies. Afterwards, he often goes back to his perch, giving me a view of his beautiful self from every possible angle. Finally, he tires of all the posturing and takes off in search of yet more prey for the hungry nestlings. I think he’s got lots of personality and I love watching his antics.

Squirrel sneaking a drink from the murky swamp waters hanging upside down from a Bald Cypress tree on Bayou Desiard – Ouachita Parish Louisiana. This is one of my favorite shots and honestly one of my first paddling trips to Bayou DeSiard after returning to Louisiana. I had been away for about 15 years. This scene was less than 50 yards from the Public Boat Launch at Frenchman’s Bend. I have seen this behavior displayed many times since this shot, but oddly never noticed it before the day this image was captured.

This prothonotary was photographed in the Atchafalaya NWR during the spring migration. They are the most common wood warbler in south Louisiana. There are known as the “swamp canary” due to it’s striking yellow color. They prefer moss covered trees for nesting in the swamp.

I took this picture along the banks of a lake at Jefferson Island in Iberia Parish. I have applied several layers and textures to give it more of a painted canvas look.

Fluffy reminds me of a little blue snowball; he sends his greetings from the Barry family to all the good friends here at Red Bubble. May your Christmas be happy and holy and blessed and may 2009 be bright and beautiful and filled with wonder and joy! Love to everyone, Bonnie Postscript: Fluffy is a old crony of Frosty the Snowman. They don’t get to see each other much, though, since Fluffy relocated down South. Frosty would love to come for visits, but the heat plays havoc with his health. They content themselves with an occasional email and phone call. Fluffy and Frosty send their best to everyone!

This male painted bunting showed up several times this summer on my patio. A shy, elusive bird, it usually stays well hidden in thickets and woodlands, but its love of water brought it out of seclusion to my birdbath. I was blessed and privileged to view it and photograph it a handful of times this summer. Unfortunately, after this bird leaves the U.S. and heads to its wintering home southward, it is no longer protected by law and is subject to capture by those who sell buntings for a pretty price as caged birds. Consequently its numbers are diminishing. Called “nonpareil” by the French speaking Acadians of southern Louisiana, its nickname means “without parallel,” quite fitting as it is unique and unlike any other songbird.

This Great Blue Heron lit atop a cypress tree and was silhouetted beautifully against the rosy sky at sunset on Lake Martin in St. Martin Parish, Louisiana.

An indigo bunting and a Northern cardinal were sharing space on a brick ledge on my patio. I was struck by the beauty of their primary colors side by side against the vibrant green background of the trees just budding in the warmth of spring. It was hard to get them both in sharp focus so I had to splice two photos together to try to achieve the results. This was the first time I’d ever seen these two kinds of birds together and when I researched them in my field guides, I learned they are actually relatives, cousins of sorts, that belong to the finch family, so very fitting that they came together to share a meal.

This image of a male Northern Parula was captured in the Atchafalaya NWR during spring migration. They are one of the first warblers to arrive. Their song is one of the easiest to recognize. It is a rising buzzy insect-like trill. If more than one male is around during nesting season, you will be rewarded with this unique sound for some time.

I posted this image earlier and then got a request from one of my former students to create another version of the same picture, this one as a Cajun Christmas card. In her email to me, she wrote, “Yesterday, I found out I relapsed… A tumor that was dormant for two years awoke from its slumber… so back to the battle… and you know this Cajun is going to fight like a true Cajun!” I’m dedicating this card to Robyn and to her fighting spirit. I hope that everyone who views this card and reads this entry will pray for her to win this next round of her battle with cancer. Robyn is a gifted athlete who abounds with humor and the Cajun joie de vivre, joy of life! Please spread the word; united prayer is powerful. And a very Merry Cajun Christmas to you and yours!
