Texans realize that coins are just-about-dead in the not-so-far future. They are part of the outdoor flooring of this outdoor museum in Austin (The Contemporary) . In these photo, these are actual old dimes and quarters laid in the concrete. The place is beautiful, situated on Lake Austin. I highly recommend spending a morning walking the paths and viewing the outdoor sculptures and scenery here. https://thecontemporaryaustin.org/
A common culprit for any mischief in Texas. One of the cutest backyard devils ever. Here he is seeking to destroy a Bluebird nest. He revisited that night, and the next morning, nature took its course.
Texas Lilac Tree. A hot summer superstar ... an immigrant from China shows off across the state a month after Bluebonnet season. In my backyard. 25 years ago, it was not so easy to find these at a local nursery. This particular tree was planted 4 years ago as a transplant, not as a seedling. It bloomed heavily the very first Spring. Now it is a diamond in our Conroe yard.
On the highway to Tyler ... there is a turnaround exit every mile, so it is relatively easy to capture Texas Spring in Bloom photos without being run down by traffic. These patches of yellow were mesmerizing in early May.
is a nice small town, which makes the Houston news occasionally, mostly weather related. It dates back to 1872, so you know it is a place to stop. This water tower is easily viewed from downtown and the main highway that passes through this town, numbering some 600+ residents. It apparently is named after Cyrus Lovelady. I thought it might be a special name, because there was a lovely lady there (LOL), but there never seems to be a romantic story behind the name of a place. However, use of the name brings surprises sometimes. There is an annual love fest here each Spring.

Each Spring, both the Baltimore and Orchard Orioles are on the tail-end of their Texas migration to the north, passing through many times undetected. But if an orange is sitting in a tree or on a pole (such as in this), a stray bird or even a flock will be glad to stop and get a meal on their way north. This is an Orchard Oriole eating an entire half orange, by itself, yesterday.
is a small town near the Gulf Coast of Southeast Texas, with a human population approaching 2000. This sunrise over the water catches a sample of the plant life often found on the coast.
Water water everywhere and not a drop to drink. Animals have been searching for high ground, as the West Fork of the San Jacinto River flowed over its banks yesterday. Lakes in Texas are apt to provide flood situations behind the dam each one when the rain fills the lake. There is only one natural lake in Texas and that is shared with Louisiana. This is a photograph of an area behind some homes, as we watched the river flow from right to left through the pine forest. The river subsided the next day as the river authority began releasing less water into the river bed behind the dam. A sight to behold.
Wildflowers are great in Texas even past "Bluebonnet season". April 25
. Just 3 days after taking this photo. a confirmed EF-1 tornado hit this beautiful town on the trinity River. https://www.yahoo.com/news/ef1-tornado-confirmed-trinity-county-203925626.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall
. On the side of the Trinity River. We were in route to Tyler from Conroe. Small Texas towns are my favorite, when it comes to cities. Size does matter!
We see all sorts of wildlife in Texas. Famous for rattlesnakes, this is not dangerous. This Water Snake is also well known to farmers and ranchers. This one has been around my home in Conroe and seen occasionally here for the last four years. About 3+ feet long, he is death to small creatures. He kills and feeds by strength of his muscles, wrapping himself around hid prey and squeezing the life out of them. He is not a direct threat to pets.

California may be having a golden year for wildflowers but Texas does it every year. My backyard. The red flowers are Crimson Clover. Conroe Tx

Bluebonnet season is here, but in the early stages around most of the state. Here in the southeast, you can find them blooming profusely. In this case, in our backyard.

The Woodlands, Tx. Road Closures Mark All time Record Flood. #TheWoodlandsTx experienced a record flood on #SpringCreek this week. #KHOU This video shares the images and sounds of water gone a muck in the forest of Southeast Texas. In two days, 14 inches of rain fell on this 100,000 resident community. That combined with upstream rainfalls of equivalent amounts and the release of water from Lake Conroe has nearly overwhelmed the community. Folks living here all their life have stated that they have never seen such water in their entire lives. I have lived here for 20 years and not seen anything like it as well. Some people had to abandon their homes; others balked at it and stayed. When water starts to recede after a rainfall, the danger is not necessarily over. We are expecting an additional three feet of flood water before the creek crests tonight. #TexasFloods #MontgomeryCounty #
Bee Cave, Tx. Short Waterfall Video for a Sunday Afternoon. Bee Cave is in the Texas Hill Country near Austin.
Southeast Texas Winter Monarch Butterflies. During migration, the Monarch Butterfly sometimes lays eggs on its way to Mexico. This year two eggs hatched into caterpillars in the winter as a result of late season eggs. This video shows the container that was used to house the cats after being brought indoors. The cats continued to grow after eating a bunch of leaves from the Butterfly Weed from the garden. In the jar inside the house, both transformed from cats to Chrysalis and then to butterflies. On the day of the morph into a butterfly, this shows the struggle of the second Monarch Butterfly as it readies itself to face the end of the winter outdoors. The video consists of both still shots and video clips. In the video clips, you can hear my pet duck explaining to you what he was watching, as the event unfolded. The butterfly got stuck in the sticky material that attached the Chrysalis to the glass. I freed it from the material and helped it out of the jar. Then he took a very short flight to the flowers and grabbed hold of a leaf so he could sun himself and get the energy he needed from the sun. A few hours later, he disappeared, presumably flying off to eat nectar in the wild. Good luck our friend. You are a native Texan!
