This guy was digging a hole, and that makes good sense because cold weather is on the way! Armadillos retreat underground to escape the cold, even though they don't officially hibernate in the winter. Get ready, East Texas, winter is coming! .o.the.pines.texas .lovers

Will these guys have as much fun as those watching the ball drop tonight? And second question - aren't we fortunate to live in East Texas, where sights like this aren't out of the norm?

Caddo today is 169.84, and Lake O' the Pines is 229.91, releasing 298 CFS. .o.the.pines.texas .lovers

As pelicans woke this morning, a young eagle hung out in one of their favorite trees as ducks flew by - just another day in the life on Lake O' the Pines! Lakeside Park is just one of the many great places around the lake where you can experience the beauty of East Texas.

It's ironic that one of the most beautiful evenings on Lake O' the Pines was Christmas Day when essentially the only witnesses were the wildlife. That's okay - they deserve a peaceful evening, too. Lake O' the Pines is 229.02, and Caddo is 169.06. .o.the.pines.texas .lovers

Bigfoot is getting into the holiday spirit, paddling the Big Cypress Bayou to Jefferson to see if his namesake statute is still there. We think he's going to have a tough go with all the downed trees, and even LuLu looks skeptical. Merry Christmas - we are thankful for you all! Lake O' the Pines is 229.03, and Caddo is 169.01. .o.the.pines.texas .lovers

Pelicans on one end, gulls on the other at Lakeside Park ahead of the front that is bringing us winter weather!

And here it comes! The clouds are unbelievably blue toward Brushy Creek, and the sight is just breathtaking.

The rain has moved on for now and Lake O’ the Pines is like a gorgeous mirror after the sun set. A heavy veil of fog is moving in - head out to Brushy Creek Park 6-9 tonight for a boost of Christmas cheer!

The lake level is getting low enough now for American White Pelicans to roost inside Lakeside Park, and that's great news for anyone who wants to see them! A large pod bedded down last night and headed out for a day of fishing on Lake O' the Pines. #riverbendoutfitters #fishing #lake.o.the.pines.texas #myetx #friendsoflotp #islandviewrv

On the last day of November and the coldest day of this season at 29 degrees, Lake O' the Pines couldn't be more beautiful. Looking toward Island View from Lakeside Park, the palette in the sky was like a calming medley.

As we move into full-on fall, it's fun to document the color changes. Every year is unique, and every year is soothingly beautiful in East Texas.

Last night after sunset, twenty American Avocets were wading the waters of Lakeside Park along with Killdeer, Greater Yellowlegs, and other shorebirds. It's a beautiful life on Lake O' the Pines, just waiting for the next surprise!
