Toledo Bend Gallery
This is a gallery of pictures taken by Webmaster (Frank Dutton) around the Toledo Bend Lake area.
We generally add updates at least once a month - though that can depend on what I've had time to photograph and what I could find!
Our mission is to provide as wide a selection as possible of nature photos from this area for your enjoyment. We try to provide pictures that are both artistic for your enjoyment as well as informative for those of our visitors who are using them as reference for identification - just as we use a number of different perspectives of a given species to aid in its identification. If you find any mistakes or wish to offer help on our unidentified species, we will greatly appreciate hearing from you.
ARE YOU GETTING THE PICTURE?
This image is from dpreview.com (excellent place for photo equipment reviews / information). To get the most out of an image, a monitor should be calibrated. On my monitors, I can make out the difference between all 26 bands of this image. At minimum, to get a really good look at images, you should be able to differentiate AT LEAST between A, B, C and X, Y, Z.

Latest additions:
8/27/10 - Aside from adding a few new wildflowers, the Unidentified ranks have been chopped down a bit by getting quite a few of them classified.
8/17/10 - Aside from adding a lot of pictures - trees, dragonflies, spiders, bugs - a number of previously unidentified moths have now been added to the identified list - bringing that number to 48. In the Wildflowers - Trees section Bald Cypress has been added with a set of pictures that don't seem to be available anywhere else on the internet!! Pictures of the stages of reproduction (seed formation) in a female Bald Cypress. Also, finally, a male Common Whitetail Dragonfly. Beetles are generally thought of as very photogenic - but we like the new addition, a Figeater - large and pretty good looking (for a beetle).
8/5/2010 - We've added some new flower species as well as identifying a couple - New Butterfly - not something we often find - Lace-winged Roadside Skipper - some new bird pictures (Red-headed Woodpecker & a nice flight sequence for Great Egret) as well as bugs, dragonflies, bees and even an armadillo - and a shot I like - a Robber Fly killing a Dragonfly.
7/24/10 - Added the Giga-Gallery - some extremely high resolution scenic panoramas... zoom in and see what you can find!
7/5/10 - Last of the Osprey nest pictures as they fledged. Many more pictures added in several categories... some new, unidentified Wildflowers... wanna help me find out what they are?
5/30/10
