Welcome to my nature blog! I love sharing my photos of North Texas! I will keep looking out and hope you do too.
Comments welcome. Thank you, Mary
It had been a full day on the drive-about. So it was time to head in the direction of home. Still we had time for a few more quick stops. No doubt the fish future looks good now that we have some much needed rain in this ephemeral creek! The Cooke County drive-about had been…
It had been a while since we had headed down this lane. And it had been one of those hot days. Hopefully those hot days are behind us now. So of course we needed to check out what was new! Well, of course I took a small sample of it home. 🙂 So the dried…
Now back to the Cooke County drive-about. After the wonderful stop at Moss Lake we headed further north towards the Red River. Our first stop along the dusty road was for a kettle of Mississippi Kites! Migration time!

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. 😉 Wet but a great day on the LBJ…

On the 26th (Monday) we decided on northernly drive-about in Cooke County! We found people down there. So tomorrow’s post I will introduce them. Why do Bats Fly?

Here are the last ones I looked at from the ephemeral creek. Mesmerizing! At least to me. LOL. Speedy water mite! Yes, there are water mites. They eat similar things as their terrestrial cousins. And here they are together! What a fun time at the puddle and so many life forms! Rare Endangered Lynx Spotted…
I know you have been holding your breath for more from the puddle. 🙂 As I waited for Jeanne’s return with the container I observed more. Watch quick. The water strider skates through! This little worm wiggled by and several other UAs (unidentified animals). It might be an aquatic earthworm (Oligochaeta). However some worms are…
