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
Continuing on with the second part of Ladonia post. And it certainly was a good day to be out on a Blackland prairie at the Caddo NG! No Frosted Elfins that day. 🙁 Nevertheless, it was a splendid day at the Ladonia Units with new and old friends! Moreover, many thanks to Jeff for suggesting…
Jeff Quayle and I led a group from the NPAT Ft. Worth chapter to the Caddo NG. Meeting at Tractor Supply in Bonham, the group was eager to head out. It had been two and half weeks since I was last there. So I was hoping for new plants on the Blackland Prairie. I will…
The last record of a wild Passenger Pigeon was March 24, 1900. In fact, rewards were offered by the American Ornithologists’ Union for finding a nest. The effort was futile. A captive bird named Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden on September 1, 1914. She was 29 years old. Billions of the Passenger Pigeons…
The sunshine was in full force! Indeed, this must be why the butterflies were out this morning along the roadside. Keep looking! The more you know, the more you see and the more you see, the more you know.
Indeed, what a wonderful soggy day! We ended up with a mere 1.85″ at our place! Of course, that was great! However, Jeanne’s Fossil Hill got a whopping 4″! Whatever amount you got (and I hope you got some) was much needed, eh! Paleontologists Find Biggest Pterosaur Species Ever Unearthed in South America This Device…
For three days, the Rain Crow (also known as the Yellow-billed Cuckoo) was cackling a forecast of rain. Well, it was right, we got rain at our house! LOL Our bucket has one inch and more is coming down at press time. Oh what a wonderful rain! U.S. Customs Agents Find Rare Moth Last Spotted…
All we got today was the occasional mist. Maybe tonight the rain will come. So if you have not done so, empty your rain gauge! Do you have non-native plants at your house? Certainly is something that most places have. And we have more than our share. A family of termites has been traversing the…
No complaints from me on the weather today! In anticipation of the rain this week, now would be the time to empty your rain gauge if you haven’t already 🙂 Everyday Plastic Products – Such As Coffee Cups – Release Trillions of Microscopic Particles Into Water Keep looking! The more you know, the more you…
Whoa, was the temperature ever great today! When I got up this morning, it was 79 degrees. I am not sure when the front got here, but I noticed at noon that it had dropped to 73 degrees. Then I took Gracie for a walk and I even wore a light jacket. This is more…
Another stay at home day, and I love it. Furthermore, I think it may make me a better observer. Why? Because I am always looking for something new to pop up in my path. Or may be just a different way to view something. The Black Market Is Crawling With Spiders, New Study Finds Keep…
