Welcome to my nature blog! I love sharing my photos of North Texas! I will keep looking out and hope you do too.

We had been in the bottomland and near the creek for most of the outing (Jan 18th). Then we finally came to a shallow ravine or maybe you would call it a ditch. At most it was only four or five deep. It is great to get back to a lichen! Indeed! Pollution in cities…
Did you get some ice last night? We only got a smidgen on the plants. When I had walked under our pines I got sprinkled with bits of ice that had fallen off the needles. Now back to sunny Jan. 18th! The water was flowing under the ice. Thus I will leave you at the…

It is a time that we celebrate, commemorate and honor the life, legacy and impact of Dr. Martin Luther King. So I paused today to remember his legacy and hope for the future. Certainly warmer today,…
