Mississippi (various years and seasons)

I collaborate extensively with colleagues from the Gulf Coast research Laboratory in Ocean Springs and have visited the area multiple times starting in 2001. It is a wonderful area with exceptionally diverse range of habitats and rich fauna. The Pascagoula River with its oxbows is particularly a jewel little known to people outside the region. I usually do not have any time for photography while I am there, but hope one day I'll just go there for a visit without a pressing research agenda.

Good parasites and a dinner! Angling sheepsheads is a great fun.

A nice fungus

More fungi

High water on Pascagoula allows to enter oxbows easier.
