Nature Days Memories
by Catherine Johnson
Here are some photo memories of another week of our November Nature Days series. Thanks to all who came out to volunteer or visit!
Wildscape Awash in Butterflies
by Carolyn Henderson
Butterflies were feasting on the abundance of blooming plants Saturday during the annual El Camino Real chapter Texas Master Naturalist Nature Days.
We did have a nice number of people, but we were overwhelmed by butterflies and bees. I got photos of nine different butterflies and a few more types were seen by members. We saw one emerging from its chrysalis, but most were gorging on the many, many different blooms.
I wasn’t the only photographer. A teenage girl was also taking many photographs. Her younger sister was collecting blooms.
If you’d like to see the many butterflies, bees, grasshoppers and blooms, Nature Days continues Saturday, November 11, from 10 am to noon. It’s located at the Bird and Bee Farm at 1369 County Road 334, Rockdale, TX 76567.
Autumn at the Wildscape
by Catherine Johnson
The Milam Master Naturalist Wildscape is a beautiful sight now after rain and cool weather. Visit before winter and harvest native plants and seeds.
Great pictures are to be had for BioBlitzers too.
The highlight of last workday was a family enjoying the garden.
Our members continue to provide fantastic items like Jackie’s Butterfly bath and Janice’s Agaves.
We’ve Been Busy
Our Chapter President, Carolyn Henderson, was asked to put together ten photos of activities our group has engaged in over the past year, so they can be shared at next week’s Texas Master Naturalist Annual Meeting in McAllen, Texas (we will get to see the eclipse there!). We want to share this recap with all our blog readers and Facebook friends, too.
We look forward to more fun the rest of the year and in the future. Join us if you want to! You don’t have to be a member to attend our meetings and activities.
