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
The shores of the ponds and lakes host a whole different plant and animal communities. Indeed these organisms have found their niche living on the edge!

Well, I actually don’t known the speed of a snail. Hmmm, it seems they are relativity fast. In fact most snails can travel at around 0.02 miles per hour. But I digress, there are no snails in this post. However most times I move at a snail’s pace. LOL Next we left the barrens for…
Thank goodness for digital cameras! I would not be able to afford the processing of a film camera with all the shots I take. So of course thank goodness for the digital cameras so we can document so much! How Much Will New Fossil Fuel Projects Harm Polar Bears? We Can Now Calculate It A…

Stream Terminology and Definitions describes the terms of running water that occupies a channel. This creek did not have any running water currently. However…
Next destination was an overlook at the Red River. So down the road we went. However maybe I should say up the road since we headed north? It was an epic battle! As they fought the road dust covered them. Neither were giving up. In fact, the humans watched for four minutes. Still no end….
I know most of you have heard the expression “To make no bones about it”. Apparently the expression came from fifteenth century England. If you found a bone in your soup that was not good (of course). So no bones in your soup were good. Indeed in the field I think finding bones is fun….
The nature nerds were out on the Cooke County roads yesterday! And goodness it was fun as always. Treasures and treasures! The Texas Click Beetle (Alaus lusciosus) was just awesome! No bones about it we were having fun. A couple more treasures from this spot tomorrow. 🙂 It Took Just One Wolf to Revive An…
