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
Today’s annular eclipse was just spectacular! And Kathy sent me some of photos which I am featuring today. Tomorrow I will show you what I got over at Abilene State Park after I get them sorted. Kathy was at the heart of the annular eclipse. She didn’t even have to leave her house. Lucky duck,…
Wow, the cool weather is so so nice! It should bring more migrant travelers (birds) tonight with the northwest wind. Thus please turn off your lights for the critters! Furthermore lights out at night is important anytime of the year. And good luck to all those that go looking for the annular eclipse tomorrow! Indeed…
The wind gusts have been pretty steady today. Therefore it was a bit more of challenge for photographing. The Killer Whales of Eden and the ‘Law of the Tongue’ Thanks Claire!

Sounds like the start to a Grimm’s fairy tale eh. LOL First the nymph! It is shaped like a Stink Bug (Pentatomidae) hence that is what I will go with. 😉 The little guy was about 3mm. I dropped it on the floor and it landed upside down. Soon it was released outside. The majority of the…
Yesterday in the comments Kathy said this “Being that we can sit in our own yard here at the farm to enjoy this eclipse on Saturday, we are quite excited! Got our glasses at a astronomy talk on the eclipses so we are ready. I want to take photos but I don’t have any fancy…

Certainly it was the most perfect weather day for Trinity Forks NPSOT field trip! Ivy, Debra, Sarah, Chuck, Rosie and Jeanne took the three hour two mile tour of our Pollinator Ranch. Indeed it was definitely the perfect day to show off the Pollinator Ranch! Thanks to all for letting me share our special place…
So even though there was not much rain this year at our house many of the native species are doing pretty fine. The rain two days ago was most welcome by all. However you might think that not much would be doing that well. Think again! So even though there has not been a lot…
Sounds like a cliche from the corporate office, eh. 😉 However in botany there is another meaning. And the word is determinate. This means that the flower blooms from the top down. Indeed it was another beautiful fall day from the top of morning to the bottom of day. Thank you Suzanne for introducing the…
Fingers and toes crossing last night helped! We got 1.6″ in our bucket! YIPPEE! That was like raining cats and dogs. Certainly the rain god should be thanked. 🙂 Now back to yesterday’s outing. Indeed a beautiful First Wednesday outing which included cats (larvae), 3 birds (Pileated Woodpecker, Carolina Wren, and crows calling), snake, skink,…
