Cool ripples on the trail. Now can you find the little frog in the ripples?
The Arkansas Yucca (Yucca arkansana) seed pod was smiling at us. 😉
The pinwheel Nits-and-Lice (Hypericum drummondii)!
We were puzzled by the fuzzy hairs on Liatris. Then we remembered the large dog tracks and the hair was soft.
On the bottom of the left Spotted Beebalm (Monarda punctata var intermedia) it looked like pigtails.
The Four-O’clock’s (Mirabilis) sepals are even more pretty and last longer than the actual flowers. The pinkish stuff are the sepals. There are seven species in FNCT. I didn’t try to key this one out.
Jeanne stopped at the Sand Dropseed (Sporobolus cryptandrus). She showed me the spikey hairs at the node.
Then further in the prairie we could see the droopy mature Sand Dropseed. Pretty distinctive, eh! Thanks Jeanne for the lesson. Now I will just have to remember it. LOL.
A Green Lynx spider was shedding and I think it looked like an green octopus.
We were not sure it was alive. Well, of course we had to poke it. They would be very vulnerable at this time. Good luck friend!
The frog has such big eyes!
A hairy legged octopus 😄. Be glad when they figure out the chimp language so we can know what they’re saying about us.
I bet the same ole stuff 😉🤣
You always find the best creeks!
I can never find your “find the…” photos but this time I did! And I do enjoy them. The ripple patterns are so pretty.
