I know I said yesterday we would get back to the Cooke County drive-about, but I changed my mind. LOL.
Today was First Wednesday and the theme was to see how the prairie had done with the drought over the summer. However today was very wet. 😉
Five real nature prairie nerds showed up for the fun! As you can see everyone was ready. 🙂
These Rain Lilies (Zephyranthes chlorosolen) had a very lucky day. Not only did they get rain, but somehow missed getting run over by me.
Rain Lily in the prairie! The plant not Jerry.
Stopped for the small Gumweed!
Did someone lose their dentures?
Wet weather did not stop the close up looks at the plants.

Time to call it a day in the beautiful rain soaked prairie.
Wet but a great day on the LBJ National Grasslands!
Umbrella shots seemed to be a theme in our photos today. LOL. Thanks to Jerry and Kate for sharing your shots.

What great and colorful umbrella shots! A wonderful day in the rain.
What a fun wet day! Everyone so prepared!!
A very dedicated crew. And the temp was good. Looked like fun.
It was a lovely walkabout. And we have mysteries to solve!
Very cute photos! Jerry’s Gaillardia seedheads shot is stunning.
So sorry I missed this one! I even have a new rain jacket I was excited to try out. Looks like a fun day, even if damp.
It was and we missed you. 🙂
