Nature Photography Blog for Point & Shoot Cameras-World Nature Class

Spring Continues on Rainbow Creek............

The 3 eggs belong to Punker and mate. (cardinals)

Let The Class Begin!

Today we are in the Memory Garden

This is my Mom's Fountain

This garden is at the Entrance to Kates Cabin

Sometimes Magical things happen here.

Behind this concrete bench is a small tree.

This will be our photostudy today:  The Forest Pansy Redbud Tree.

The new leaves are red and mature to maroon. (other redbuds have green leaves).

Enjoy and remember, they are just leaves on a little tree!

This concludes our photostudy on the Forest Pansy Redbud.

Goodnight Kate and Everyone on the Planet!

Sweet Dreams

ALIENS HAVE ARRIVED (AGAIN) AT KATES CABIN ON RAINBOW CREEK, A BIRD SANCTUARY IN WALLER COUNTY, TEXAS

KISS THE REDBUD TREES GOODBYE.
ON THE NEXT WIND, THE BLOOMS WILL BE GONE.

What a show they put on at Kates Cabin on Rainbow Creek.

This Tree is Named:  Eastern Redbud

The flowers appear in a purple hue to everyone else except the guy who named it red bud.

Here come the Leaves as the Flowers go.

Welcome Class, Come on in and enjoy!

It seems that the Redbuds bring all Good Things of Spring.

I will be planting many more up and down the Creek.

If you do not grow them where you are, just come share these here!

Punker, a regal red cardinal, wants to open our class today.

(I know he has special news: 2 eggs in his nest!)

Let the Class Begin!

Wait a Minute, I did not complete my Debut

Can you see me on this fence post?

Can you see me now? Give me a Spotlight!

I am Anole, from the Garden

Let the Class Begin!

Wait a minute, I have not completed my Debut.

Hello Everyone,  I am Casper, the friendly Squirrel

Let the Class Begin!

Remember to vote for me, Casper.

I want to be a Rock Star like Punker.

Excuse Me.

Why am I not selected to open the Class?

Anyone can see I am the most Beautiful.

I am a  Tree Frog and this is my Branch.

Let the Class End!  (out of time)

Goodnight King and Goodnight Kate

Goodnight Everyone, Everywhere

PHOTOGRAPHY BLOG AND WORLD NATURE CLASS AT KATES CABIN ON RAINBOW CREEK IN TEXAS

WELCOME  PHOTOGRAPHY STUDENTS & NATURE LOVERS TO OUR BIRD SANCTUARY IN WALLER COUNTY, TEXAS

REDBUD TREES ARE IN FULL BLOOM NOW

Let the Class Begin and Here Comes the Leaves!

(yes, a little birdie told us so!)

To My Naked Trees, We Say Goodbye

And to the new Green:  Hi

This is a Bald Cypress Tree stretching to the sky

I just love this guy!

I am a day late and a dollar short;  again, as my Dad would say.

When your Parents are gone from the Planet, You remember even more what they used to say.  I wish I could go read a blog that my Mom or Dad wrote, but they did not have blogs back then.

I am comforted knowing that if my kids miss me, they can always come back here to see what I did today and had to say.

I better say here "I Love You" (for the futures sake!)

I planted this Bald Cypress as a seedling 8 years ago. Now he is taller than me! These are the only tree I know of that have Knees!

Rambo just got back to the nest from a very short lunch break with a tasty spring frog. She does not leave the nest for very long.

No signs of babies yet as Rambo prepares to 'sit' some more.

Rambo puffs out all of her feathers to warm the eggs.

Then she stretches out her wings and tail feathers and sits down, covering the whole top of the nest.

Here comes superbuzz checking out a redbud..

He is drinking all the sweet nectar inside the flowers. (The flowers will make more for tomorrow)

These Redbud Trees put on a Spectacular Show for just a few days,

and then they are gone and unnoticed until next year.

I have them planted everywhere along Rainbow Creek.

Every year I spread the seeds down the creek.

There is superbuzz taking off for the night and heading home to his hive.  Goodnight Superbuzz!

Another Sunset behind Rambo's Nesting Pine Tree.

Standing on my Rooftop, this is what I see.

Thanks for joining me

Goodnight Rambo & Goodnight Kate

Goodnight Everyone, Everywhere
