TWO MONTHS LATER
Remember mama and baby from early June? Here they are today.

Trixie and her turtle, vixen and troll -- how the morning started on Harmeyer Nature Preserve, Louisiana. And coffee, of course.

Fox and Troll at the Entrance Bridge, #HarmeyerNaturePreserve, Rapides Parish, #Louisiana, June 30, 2025.
These are our first ever images of a spotted fawn on the #HarmeyerNaturePreserve in central #Louisiana. The photos were shot by our trailcam on Wednesday evening.
Fox or Coyote?
We have had plenty of foxes this spring, but I don't think this is one of them. Agree?

I'm not as good of a photographer, but I have been losing staring contests from my backporch all spring. #harmeyernaturepreserve
There is one kit in the den, just upstream from the bridge, but the fluffy babe is nearly adult size and venturing bravely. Daddy Fox seems to have been kicked out. He's hanging out just downstream, screaming too.
#HarmeyerNaturePreserve
A big chase had ensued moments before, as Trixie protected her turf. (That's her bridge, you know! ๐) No casualties. This has been going on for days now. Real live Fox and the Hound action!

Morning of the Fox at #harmeyernaturepreserve about 50 steps from our #magnoliacabin rental (Vrbo & Airbnb) west of Alexandria #Louisiana at the edge of Kisatchie Natl Forest. My 3-min video compresses about 9 minutes of action, as Mama Fox stares us down trying to protect her turf. Enjoy!
This pretty lady got her picture taken in our preserve today. What do you think: maybe pregnant? We're eager for a grandfawn. ๐
#HarmeyerNaturePreserve
Good morning. This image is from #HarmeyerNaturePreserve from earlier this morning. Doesn't it look like Mama is going to give me a grandfawn? I'm excited, hoping to see a baby on camera soon. We must preserve our unspoiled land and protect our creatures.

A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN LOUISIANA
At the entrance to Harmeyer Nature Preserve, Festus the Bridge Troll is on guard. The sign on his pedestal reads, "Only the good shall pass." Trixie passes with ease; she is good.

Good morning. The sun is energy. Soak it up. Direct it where needed. You know where it is needed. Always be brave. #kisatchiegreetingsdaily
#HarmeyerNaturePreserve
Good morning. What does my little friend say? This world does not favor the timid. Always be brave.

Good morning. Here's our beautiful Magnolia Cabin, just that far from the main house, but on the edge of our #harmeyernaturepreserve and the #kisatchienationalforest. Peace, love, wildlife. Let's fight the good fight so we can enjoy the good life. #kisatchiegreetingsdaily
ONLY THE GOOD SHALL PASS -FESTUS
At our #harmeyernaturepreserve in central #Louisiana, we recently built this bridge and gave it a troll, whose name is Festus. I think the creatures like it. In order, here are photos of an #armadillo, a #fox, an #opossum and a #raccoon. Enjoy!
Good morning. Some will break. Not us. We will stand tall, won't we?

Strange happenings at our #harmeyernaturepreserve today: Trixie found a way big bone; Bigfoots gathered for a town hall; the deer had other business on their mind.
#trixieofthekisatchie
Good morning. I don't know the answer. But here is a beautiful fox on our #harmeyernaturepreserve in central #Louisiana. Fight for her. #kisatchiegreetingsdaily
Trixie slips past Festus the Bridge Troll as the sun sinks on another day at our Harmeyer Nature Preserve in central Louisiana. Festus says only the good shall pass. Trixie doesn't want to catch his eye, fearing she may not be good enough. #HarmeyerNaturePreserve

Good morning. The forest is awakening in a veil of yellow jessamine. My poem about this simple flower and humanity is in the comments. Enjoy your day. #kisatchiegreetingsdaily

Fun morning!
Stephen Norman visited today. These aren't Spring pictures, but we had fun!

Introducing #FestustheTroll.
Good morning. Persist. Use your beak, or anything similarly shaped, to drill baby drill right through the lies. Coffee helps. #kisatchiegreetingsdaily
#HarmeyerNaturePreserve
Good morning. Spring is springing here, so expect lots of flowers in my greetings over the coming weeks. These are wild azaleas in our #harmeyernaturepreserve. The adjacent Kisatchie Natl Forest is famous for them. All of us have earned flowers lately, right? Stay strong. #kisatchiegreetingsdaily
Five o'clock this foggy morning, look at this lovely doe at North Pond. We were fortunate enough to add the North Pond tract to our #harmeyernaturepreserve in 2024. It is gorgeous. Please, let's dispose of the villains so we don't need to cross wastelands and borders to find safety. I like it here.
CAPTURED ON CAMERA, the master beast of Louisiana's #harmeyernaturepreserve. Rarely sighted, he is called KisatchieBigfoot. Prowling the forest in his Bigfoot shirt and ๐ณ pajama pants, his angry scowl is feared, but not as much as his ferocious posting. Follow him here: @kisatchiebigfoot.bsky.social
Trixie takes a hike.
