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
What a drizzly cold day! So glad I took Gracie to the grasslands yesterday. In fact, after the morning walk this morning, all I could think about was how good a gooey cinnamon bun would be. I did not get one ;-( I settled for potato and leek soup for supper. “Genetic Goldmine” Uncovered for…
It has been a while since I have taken Gracie to the grasslands. The weather was right! This was a test run for Gracie. So we only stayed out two hours. Keep looking! The more you know, the more you see and the more you see, the more you know.
The Native Prairie Association of Texas (NPAT) Prairie Seekers (PS) had the perfect weather yesterday! After the multiple days of high winds, the group was so lucky to have such a beautiful day to learn about the prairie at the Dixon Water Foundation.

Today, I went with Jim to Keller. I had to wait in the car. So I decided to challenge myself. What could I find around the buildings and the parking lot? Moreover, would it be interesting. Here is what I found. BP to Build World’s First Solar-Powered Steel Mill, 750,000 Panels Strong Keep looking! The…
