duck creek

[gurdonark]

Today at lunch I went to the Duck Creek Greenbelt. I snapped pictures of herons, and looked at warblers in the cheap French binoculars.



I am not good at identifying warblers from among the dozens we have in Texas. Warblers are almost as hard as sparrows, and I am apt to mis-identify something with a designation suitable only to the west Texas desert. After much post-mortem with google images, though, I theorize that I spotted a common yellowthroat flitting around Duck Creek.

I read today about wooded placed in north-east Texas, and thought of which I'd like to visit.

I love mimosas! They're invasive, and probably don't belong here, but they sure have nice blooms.

Hee! That photo is very evocative for me, but not for any of the reasons you stated. That's a mimosa. Both my grandmothers had mimosa trees, and I loved them, because they were the only trees I could ever climb.

I remember many a mimosa in my childhood, too--easy to climb, but also forbidden to climb, because the limbs were so brittle.

I love the mimosa so much!

It's a great tree.

Ours are lovely this year, as we've gotten rain just when they needed it.
