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
Even though I had just been to the same place, I always expect to find something different. This First Wed was no exception! To summarize, it was great to be out with fellow nature appreciators! Moreover, the heat did not stop our enjoyment! And thank you to Jerry for sharing his photos! Meet Diane Nash,…
A few days (July 3th) before the First Wed, it was time to scout. I had not been to this unit in awhile. Always nice to know what to expect. 🙂 Tomorrow, I will share the finds for the actual First Wed which was on July 6th. A rare orchid thought to be extinct in…

A wonderful group showed up for the Shirley Lusk Day. Included in the group were Shirley’s three sons and one granddaughter who joined the celebration. Yes, it was pretty hot, but of course it could have been hotter. There was a slight breeze and some clouds. Everyone brought plenty of cold water. Thank you to…
