Loaded with lichens! All three types are represented here, crustose (adnate to the substrate), foliose (leafy like), and fruticose (3D or shrubby).
The ever gorgeous jumping spider (Phidippus texanus)!
A tiny caterpillar clung to the Redbud’s petiole.
Yellow Star-grass (Hypoxis hirsuta)!
Going down an old washed out maintenance road I thought someone had shattered glass. However on closer inspection we could see that it was sparkly minerals. They were like shards of glass! If you know what this is, please share.
A weird rock fooled me momentarily. I thought it was going to be a turtle shell. No clue on the owner of the vertebra.
Resurrection Fern (Pleopeltis polypodioides) is a lovely fern On this day, it was green with life!
Does a snail go slow because it doesn’t want to miss a thing? Hmmm, I have a lot in common with the snail.
Thank goodness I carry my Garmin for our GPS path. Why? Because it would have been another knife lost. The red lanyard also helped. 🙂 The greenbriar had grabbed it out of my pocket. :-O Jeanne was not as lucky. She lost her knife too. And we had to go to the local Walmart for a replacement.
I’m with the snail too – don’t want to miss anything!
The lichens pic is great and who doesn’t love s pretty jumping spider. Mineral shards sure are interesting. Hope someone knows about them.
No body has spoken up yet🤷🏻♀️
Hey you two. Remember the tortoise and the hare 😉
👍🏼😊
Glad you found at least one missing pocket knife!!
Me too. Because I lost my previous knife just a couple weeks ago.
