Lost But Found

The adventure continued at the Caddo NG! Does a snail go slow because it doesn’t want to miss a thing? Hmmm, I have a lot in common with the snail. Moon reserves?

Dog Wonders About Human

Dog Wonders About Human

Briar and I only spent two and half hours out. And as per usual the dog goes further than the human. Dog: 3.05 miles; human: 1.6 miles. So I suspect that the dead armadillo might have been Briar’s best find of the outing. At least as far as I knew. LOL. Extremely Rare Rainbow Clouds…

Jackalope?

Jackalope?

We continued on with exploring. Of course, we might find some interesting stuff. In fact, I can’t think of a time when there hasn’t been good stuff to find. Thus, expectations are always high!

Had to

Had to

Second, was to see if the Blue Funnel-lily’s (Androstephium caeruleum) leaves might be sprouting. So far I had managed…
