Welcome to my nature blog! I love sharing my photos of North Texas! I will keep looking out and hope you do too.

Hold on, wait a minute! Your citrus in the Texas Valley is safe for now. But what about here in North Texas overnight? Our low was 32 degrees this morning. Keep looking! The more you know, the more you see and the more you see, the more you know
It had been another great outing, but it was time to head back to the car. This did not mean that we would not stop along the way. 😉 Not sure when our next warm day will be. The wonderful grasslands! And Happy National Hiking Day! I did my part and did a hike today….
We were almost to the woods now. It was alive! The Green Lacewing (Chrysopidae) larva was wearing its camo clothing. Very effective don’t you think? Last part of the November 10th in the next post!
