After we had come back up to the cars, we headed further down the road. Michael had not been to this next part before. I was sure he would enjoy it. Ok, any place on the grasslands is enjoyable LOL.
The tail was spotted!
Next, an inside view!
A grasshopper took a break on the deceased armadillo.
Caps on a Post Oak!
Galls were crowded on the back of a Post Oak leaf!
Provertyweed was bright green!
At this point, we reached the destination I was showing off. Of course, you can guess it was ravine with water LOL! This is a Cladonia species of a lichen. Always an easy place to look for this species are at the edges of ditches and ravines.
The Purple-fringed Liverwort can often be right along side of the lichens!
Don’t forget to look for the mosses as well in this type of habitat!
A close up of a leaf of the Fissidens moss above!
The creek! And tomorrow I will continue the tale/tail!
Armadillos are cool in every form. Even dead. Love the creek and the composition of your pic is great.
Truly a world of wonders.
A lot of good liverworts at this place!!
Certainly are!!😎
