November Walk
Here on the Gulf Coast we don’t get the big masses of fall color that other regions do, but if you look carefully, there are many tiny treasures to be seen.
And some big treasures too…. at least to me!

In late April I helped out with an event at Inks Lake State Park in central Texas. My task was running a metamorphosis activity for kids, at a table pleasantly located in the shade of a huge post oak tree. From time to time I would catch a glimpse of a tiny brown head daring […]

Whenever I am researching for a nature presentation, I come across great resources that beg to be shared. This is from The History of Four-footed Beasts, Serpents, and Insects, 1658, which was mostly a translation of an earlier book from the 1500s. I love this book so much — it has 1100 pages of illustrations […]

I am a little late in adding a post to the Numbers Game this week, because Hurricane Beryl came through on Monday. The storm was not a big one and it moved fast, but like many other people, we lost power. It was off for about 56 hours, and then it has been spotty since […]
I am again joining in with the Numbers Game from Judy Dykstra-Brown, this week looking at files with the number 149 in them. But I am going to stretch the limits of the challenge a little, by taking you on a walk to get to those “149” pictures. To get to this spot in the […]

I am going to play along with Judy Dykstra-Brown’s Numbers Game #27. Her number is 148, and she asks us to pull from our photos that have the number 148 somewhere in their file name. I am going to play, but keep my focus on nature photos, so that this poor blog gets some updates! […]
A great window in to your surroundings… they truly are treasures, big and small. I think I need a Leila in my life 🙂

Love your pictures! Even that beetle looks beautiful! We live in the city and our neighbor has two sweet gum trees. The leaves of one turn yellow and orange in the fall and the other turns the deep red as in your picture. The leaves on our oak are falling now. Great fun for our great grandson to toss about and roll around in.
It’s great that he can experience that – and have fun for free!
Your goats are so sweet, lovely companions for an autumnal walks!
They are very useful in getting up close to birds – the birds think, “Oh, just a herd of goats…” and stay close by. 🙂
