The Lifecycle Daily Cap(s) (127)
My front yard Desert Willow shows a bountiful life being in bloom and a vitality in setting a seed head.
My back yard Mexican Plum, I fear, is showing signs of a good life coming to an end as I had to remove yet another dead limb today
The Daily Cap(s) (108)
These guys were all over a Keller park this afternoon - if it was bloomin' they were busy fluttering
Already sickly is this tree, and it's only spring...an early spring at that
They are a colorful lot with bookend wings...I think this is the Common Buckeye Butterfly
The Not-In-My-Backyard Daily Cap(s) (103)
These two soon realized that this pool had a "no lifeguard on duty" policy...so there they sat pitifully longing for a nice cool dip in the pool
I called this kid's backyard recreation somewhat "ingenious". The property manager I was with during our morning property walk called it "redneck"....
A favorite tree...the hickory has a great trunk and bark pattern
Springing About Town Again
Anyone want to venture a guess on what are these North Texas spring bloomers? Hint: they all are small trees/large shrubs…and taken nearly two weeks ago (so they’re done blooming now).

Rain drop about to drop out of my Mexican Plum
Looking up, from under....
Huddled up - a cold front was coming

A place for nesting...but presently witout eggs.
The Plentiful Daily Cap(s) (56)
Back in the woods off the beaten path I found this Mexican Plum in early bloom...with the morning sunrise aglow in the background.
The Daily Cap(s) (54)
Spring already? Tell me it's not so. I'm not done wearing warm cool jackets yet. Some gut feeling tells me these guys are gonna get caught without a blanket one more time this winter, and they will get hurt. I guess the macro len/filter stuff needs dug out the back of the closet, huh? (Callery Pear, BTW)
The Daily Cap (28)
A Good Morning Saturday - a particularly beautiful sunrise it was. And even more so when I turned my back to her and found this Oak waiting for the same glimpse of light and warming of the soul, just like me.
The Daily Cap (20)
Leafless trees silhouetted against a sunrise or sunset do it to me every time. This, along with news from home gave some calm to the end of an emotional day...
The Daily Cap (19)
That she is a stately (Post) Oak with a true stature of magnificance...even in the winter. And especially when seen standing in front of a beautiful sunrise glow.

This is a cool story – Hurricane Ike came calling in September 2008, and that allowed this guy do his magic, after-the-fact:
