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
On Friday (Feb. 16th), besides just the opportunity to be outside, I did have a mission. Would a certain plant be blooming yet? Sometimes it will at this time of year and yes sometimes not. However before we got to that spot the water required close examination. Well of course right. LOL. There were fewer…
A Trinity Forks chapter NPSOT pop-up field trip was scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 10th. And since the rain had occurred earlier in the week I needed to make sure we could cross the creek. So on Thursday, Feb. 8th, Jeanne and I went to check it out. The day was perfect, cool but sunny. What…
Creeks are such interesting places, eh. Even if you just listen to the sound of water only it is magical. A study says it calms “emotions and relieving anxiety”. I think we all knew that. 🙂 Of course, I look at what’s in it as well. Well, I brought one home as you can see…
Did you get some ice last night? We only got a smidgen on the plants. When I had walked under our pines I got sprinkled with bits of ice that had fallen off the needles. Now back to sunny Jan. 18th! The water was flowing under the ice. Thus I will leave you at the…
Our hopes were high that we would find good stuff up the creek. And of course you know we did. 🙂 This was the first bridge finds. So yes, more creeks/bridges tomorrow.

For years I have drove over these bridges. Always thinking I should investigate these creeks. Well, the day had come! Jeanne found a safe place for us to park off the road. And let the exploring begin! Indeed we were just getting started! Thus tomorrow’s post will continue down the creek. Leonardo da Vinci Was…
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…
So yesterday I left you wondering what I was checking for under the bridge. Have you made a guess? This was the last creek stop that day. However there were two more roads to check. The conclusion of this outing will be tomorrow. ‘Truly historic’: How science helped kids win a landmark climate trial Most…
The Lost Creek Trail is the name of trail we walked on at Ft. Richardson SP. There are several other trails to select from as well. Some day, maybe I will get to all them.
