Like magic
Ahh, it feels like summer is coming early. Well, not so bad today with the wind. Do trees exist (scientifically speaking)? Keep looking! The more you know, the more you see and the more you see, the more you know.
Sharing
Continuing on with the first First Wednesday outing! The group watches for all the flora and fauna. For example, the Indigo Bunting gave some nice views of it singing its song. Butterflies were not numerous, but there were some sulphurs, Buckeyes, fritillaries and various moths. So I am certainly looking forward to the next First…

NPSOT field trip
On Tuesday, I led a group from my local chapter of NPSOT, Trinity Forks chapter, on an outing at the LBJ NG. It was a fairly chilly morning in the low 50’s. And cloudy too! Everyone were thinking maybe they should have worn warmer clothes. However, as we got going, I think all forgot about…

Further down the road
On we traveled to the next stop on the same road. We watched carefully for other special plants but they were not up yet. Crows and ravens took over the world because they’re spookily smart (and brawny, too) Keep looking! The more you know, the more you see and the more you see, the more…
The mystery…
