Too early for summer

Too early for summer

However, we seemed to be getting it whether or not we want it, eh. High temp at our house was 93.7 degrees. So I for one am glad it was windy and didn’t make it to the forecasted high of 99 degrees. Today’s giant farm vehicles threaten 20% of the world’s cropland Could Ants, Termites…

Rewarded

Rewarded

On our last full day in Fannin County, we were rewarded once again with many splendid treasures. The mission was to just do some exploring, so mostly we drove. Keep looking! The more you know, the more you see and the more you see, the more you know.

On Tuesday, I led a group from my local chapter of NPSOT, Trinity Forks chapter, on an outing at the LBJ NG. It was a fairly chilly morning in the low 50’s. And cloudy too! Everyone were thinking maybe they should have worn warmer clothes. However, as we got going, I think all forgot about…

We did not stay long in the creek bottom as I needed to head back to the house. Surely when time allows, we will head back to further explore the area. The world’s largest organism is slowly being eaten by deer Keep looking! The more you know, the more you see and the more you…

The goal

The goal

My goal yesterday at the grasslands was to find Butler’s Quillwort (Isoetes butleri). I was not successful. Sometimes no data is good data. Now I know that it is the wrong time of year. All herbaria collections for this plant were taken in the spring. So this means another look in the spring (oh darn)…
