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
As we were driving back to the pavilion at the foundation, Melissa said she had never been down this way before. So of course, Jeanne and I said “we are game!” It was another limestone creek bed that drains to Leo Lake. Spiders are much smarter than you think The Early Bird Gets…the Truffle? Birds…
Today, I visited the Dixon Water Foundation which is located in Wise and Cooke counties. It is a wonderful place! The foundation’s mission is to “promotes healthy watersheds through sustainable land management to ensure that future generations have the water resources they need.” They run cattle and sheep. They host educational programs for students and…
Yikes, that was our high wind speed, 41 mph. So glad we did not get the 50 mph that NOAA forecast said might be possible! These Singing Lemurs Are the Only Other Mammal Species to Possess Rhythm Fourteen Ways That Spiders Use Their Silk Keep looking! The more you know, the more you see and…

Certainly was much too warm for me today! Our high was 88 degrees! I am so glad it supposed to cool down again in few days. A chance of rain on overnight on Tuesday means my fingers will be crossed. Western monarch butterflies have been vanishing. This week, a sanctuary saw thousands return. Keep looking!…
After the magical time in the ravine, we head back to the barrens towards our cars. When People Carved Turnips Instead of Pumpkins for Halloween Keep looking! The more you know, the more you see and the more you see, the more you know.
The ravines on the grasslands are magical. As a result, they draw us down into their depths. You just never know what a waits you around the next bend in a ravine! Finally if you did not catch this on PBS this week, I highly recommend watching it…My Garden of a Thousand Bees. Indeed the…
Gullies are always interesting places. The grasslands has quite a few of them. Many years ago, the Soil Conservation (now NRCS) constructed many ponds and terraces to stop the erosion. By the time the land was handed over to the Forest Service in the 1950’s, most of that was built. Still today, you can find…
