This little worm wiggled by and several other UAs (unidentified animals). It might be an aquatic earthworm (Oligochaeta). However some worms are…
A week or so ago I said I would show you what we found in a small pool of water in a limestone creek bed. The stream was an ephemeral creek and had only separated pools of water left. Some were deeper than others. Indeed, this particular pool was no more than a small shallow…

Up the tree! They really are a precious family. Also as I watched the videos I saw additional wildlife that caught…
So many treasures at the False Foxglove location. From rocks to critters. Then we moved on for two more quick stops. It was getting mighty hot and we decided to call it a day. However as always it had been a wonderful drive-about! Female sharks gather under sea to … sleep? Archaeologists Stumble Upon a…
It was and is a nice place to stop at False Foxglove with all of its treasures. Plus it was mostly shady. A good thing in the heat, eh. Whether it is the same faithful friends or a new look at favorite places, there is always more to discovery! This 600-Year-Old Coral Is Revealing Important…
