Due to heavy rains, the Mississippi River recently overflowed its banks and went beyond the tree line. These photos were taken on the levee near Tiptonville, TN.

Rain water also encroached on the land surrounding Reelfoot Lake. This brought some animals in closer than they might usually come.

Great set of photos. I especially like the photo of the water moccasin. We don’t have them or copperheads in the southwest.
This was the first time I had seen one so closely in the wild. They are intriguing!
beautiful assortment Rebecca! Like a box of chocolates!
Thanks, Wayne! That’s the way nature is. 🙂
wonderful photographs. Thanks
Thank you, Maureen!
Love the Heron and the Egret standing in the flood waters, taking it all in stride. Nice shots!
Thanks, Ellen!
