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
Oh my we got a little bit of rain this afternoon. I certainly was not expecting the rain. Our big total was .09″. However, Jeanne near Bowie got a whopping .9″. How an inserted zero makes a difference, eh. LOL Don’t get me wrong, I did appreciate what we got. Furthermore, I’m sure the plants…
Yesterday was First Wed sitting in the shade. After the others headed home, Jeanne and I decided to take a walk along another inlet. So we were able to find a few more treasures. And we managed to stay in the shade too, mostly. So tomorrow will conclude our finds on First Wednesday. Meet the…
