These are Brown Cone Flowers (Brown-Eyed Susans), Saddle Blankets (the orangey ones), Drummond's Phlox (the fuchsia ones) and Lemon Horsemint (Basil Bee Balm, whitish lavender) amongst some local grasses.

Here's another "Roadside" snap. The roadways, highways and byways of most of Texas are rife with potential flower blooms from February to July or so, depending on where you are.

At the zoo where I worked, we had this huge guinea pig exhibit. Oddly, it was possibly the most talked about exhibit, beating out comments on the tig

These are probably one of the most feared jellyfishes known to man. They can show up in the thousands and have one of the most venemous toxins of all

Come on, you know what a loufa is -- those backscrubber sponge things you use in the shower! Right, I thought they were underwater sponges, too, but

This little rascal chittered and scolded me to no end while he swished his tail and followed me from tree to tree. Most unusual.

I can look at clouds all day. In fact, I've done it on more than one occasion. The subtle lines and motions, the imagery you can see -- totally worth

I have lived a fairly large outdoor life. Even so, until I took this photo, I'd never seen such a thing. Video would have been better. These bees wer

I'd like to offer that I found this damselfly on purpose, except, like most of these images, I found them by bending down to tie my shoe, or remo

This is my cat, Meg. She's a Maine Coon (probably a mix of something else) who we found abandoned at the corner store near where we live. She&#

Trying out another camera for the first time, really. A Canon. This is an image of a large Mesquite tree near our pond, reflected at sunset.

This is a more zoomed-in image from this morning's sunrise. If you look closely, you can still see (this is the 2nd uploaded photo of this sunrise) t
