I would guess most folks look at things from the easiest way possible. And usually that is at your eye level or just looking down. We Now Know Why Zebra’s Stripes Are So Effective Keep looking! The more you know, the more you see and the more you see, the more you know

Sunday outing

Sunday outing

A friend of Suzanne told her the Trout Lilies at Tandy Hills Natural Area were blooming now. To be or not to be as Shakespeare wrote, so were they poking up here yet? Sunday the 19th and off I went searching for the Trout Lilies on the grasslands. Moreover, the water leads to the small…

Ok, I know you are dying to know, did I stay out of the mud. Well, I did manage to not get any mud on my shoes at this point. So my goal number one was still on track. 😉 Of course, staying out the mud was easy in the leaf litter of the woods….

Had to

Had to

I definitely had to go to the grasslands yesterday afternoon. Furthermore, the weather couldn’t have been more perfect and that is why I had to! So I had two goals. One, stay out of the mud. Second, was to see if the Blue Funnel-lily’s (Androstephium caeruleum) leaves might be sprouting. So far I had managed…
