The rest of the box checking was by car. Yes, I could have walked but I had already spent three hours lollygagging along the other boxes. So up the road! More boxes to check so onwards up the road! Meet the Taxidermists Who Care for the Animals at Your Favorite Museums To Save Life on…
It had been awhile since I had been in the ravine. I hoped that the path I normally took was not completely overgrown. The Rough-leaf Dogwood was fairly thick along the edge. Multiple places had active seeps running. The ripples in the sandstone were just beautiful! So these clouds wrapped up our day. And actually…
On April 14 I invited a guest to live inside with us. It took 12 days before it was time for it to leave us. Thank you to the Variegated Fritillary for enriching our lives. Now it will join its mates! A woodpecker’s interest in a doorbell leads to headache for homeowner First glowing animals…

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…
Jeanne and I have been down almost every road in Cooke County. There were only a few roads that we deemed unpassable and didn’t explore. Furthermore we certainly do not remember what was down all those roads as it was four years ago. Plus you never what you might have missed or what might be…
Is it Mondays or was it Suzanne that brought in the cooler weather for my recent outings? I certainly will go for either one. 🙂 Regardless Suzanne, Jeanne and I headed towards Cooke to get our nature fix. More tomorrow from Cooke County!
