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
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…
The three of us continued down the road. Do you have your makings for soup tomorrow? Our low temp this morning was 27.6F. Definitely going to be new low for the day later. Stay warm!

Briar and I headed back to the same grasslands unit. I was out scouting for the upcoming hike on Wednesday. But certainly we both enjoyed our time exploring. 🙂 The Quest for a Crocodile Dictionary Snuggling Up For Winter
Briar and I only spent two and half hours out. And as per usual the dog goes further than the human. Dog: 3.05 miles; human: 1.6 miles. So I suspect that the dead armadillo might have been Briar’s best find of the outing. At least as far as I knew. LOL. Extremely Rare Rainbow Clouds…
What to do the day after the holiday? Well, of course go for a hike! Besides we have a granddog to entertain. 🙂 So off to the grasslands Briar and I went this afternoon after it had warmed up a bit. It was pretty chilly here this morning, 25F. Briar and I were having a…

It is another world after dark. It was time to go back to the Lost Creek Trail in the dark! It looked like that some the lichens have superpowers like Superman. Mild manner in the daylight. Then pop with super colors under the UV! Hope everyone is getting a little bit of rain today. (Dec….
Jeanne and I continued in the afternoon after lunch near the Kicking Bird Trail. This puffball had a different idea on where its spores puffed out. I had expected the spores to come out the hole on top. It fooled us. LOL. It was a splendid afternoon exploring! 103-Year-Old Artificial Christmas Tree Sells for Over…
We were heading to the Kicking Bird Trail. Pretty cool name, eh! It was named after Kicking Bird, a Kiowa chief. My hope was I might see some birds on this short trail. However short or not it still took us two and half hours. Well I am slow but thorough. 🙂 This is the…
Well I am not by nature much of a night person. However when at a park I can not resist doing a little bit of night viewing. Especially since I have a UV light. So just imagine what all the nocturnal creatures see every night. Blows my mind every time! Birds with backpacks to help…
