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
So on Friday I just had to get out. Yes, it was hot. However, is not that what vehicles are for to keep you cool? Besides, I had not seen the Narrow-leaf Morning Glory this season. In the next posts, I will share some of the other fauna and flora we saw including some other…
The July 16th outing saga continues! As we started to climb in elevation, we happened upon the Woolly Dutchman’s Pipevine (Aristolochia tomentosa)! Of course, the elevation climb is really not that much. But this area did not have standing water as it was on a slight slope above the bottomlands. Keep looking!
What a beautiful flower that is going strong right now. The color is spectacular! The critters that visit them are cool too! So many creatures use the Brown-eyed Susans. And all of the above was found just today! In a Remote Amazon Region, Study Shows Indigenous Peoples Have Practiced Forest Conservation for Millennia Keep looking!
It has come to my attention that it is National Pollinator Week, June 21-27th. Of course every day, we should be trying to care for our pollinators, but this week is a week to celebrate the pollinators in our lives. The future of our planet depends on the biodiversity! Only about two drops of rain…

Dr. Blue’s blog post today inspired me to go out looking for plants with umbels or something similar to her dill plant. Her photo was pretty great! I did find some like hers. The Prairie Parsley was one. I was very inspired by Opal Lee story. Never too old to make a difference and don’t…
Ok, this is like a cross-post with The Dr Blue’s Cast Iron Forest to Skillet. You know how TV series connect similar plots and characters together. LOL Except wait, I do not attempt to grow anything. Nature is in total control of our blackberries. The blackberries just showed up one year in our field. The…
I believe we have had enough rain for a week or two. Mushrooms should be very happy. It looks like we are going to be hot, sticky and I bet plenty of mosquitoes too. We didn’t get near the amount of rain as many in the area got. We got a total of .68″ today….
Little Bluestem is such a beautiful grass! We are fortunate to live in an area which has it. Lots of cool stuff to find in the grasses and I barely looked 🙂 Article: Talking to Animals: Using AI to Decode the Language of Whales Keep looking!
