Star tracks over Independence Creek at the Independence Creek Preserve (Texas Nature Conservancy). This was probably 30 minutes after sundown, and it was a 15-minute exposure.

The Ruddy ducks were madly paddling away from the Canada Goose...with their heads still tucked under their wings! Cape May, NJ

The Nature Conservancy has this, and their web site says, in part, "The rocky plateau was exposed 12,000- 19,000 years ago when the Bretz Floods poured down the present Columbia River Gorge and far into the Willamette Valley. The floods swept soil and vegetation from parts of the valley and deposited granitic boulders (called "glacial erratics") from as far away as Canada." It's a great place to see, close to freeways and fairly level walking so do it!
In Texas, where I have seen this species before, the males are blue. Further west into New Mexico and Arizona, the color is more violet.

We awoke in the morning to the sounds of the rainforest around us. Pouring water from the pitcher into the basin, we washed up. When we were finished washing, we poured the water out the window, which had no glass or screen. :D)))

On occasion, my Flickr friends, I am going to post scanned images from a weeklong Nature Conservancy trip I took in February 1991 to the Peruvian Amazon. Our tour group stayed at Explorama Lodge, 50 miles down the Amazon River from Iquitos, and Explorama Camp, 95 miles from Iquitos.

We were so lucky to have a modern, well-appointed kitchen inside the Learning Center at the preserve. This is the food to feed ten people for the week.
These pictures were taken over Labor Day weekend 2009 only 65 miles from Panama City Beach. Dog Island is small at 6.8 miles in length, accessible only by boat, ferry or airplane. The Nature Conservancy owns most of the island and there is only one hotel, the Pelican Inn
This absolutely-gorgeous bog can be found just outside the town where both Susan Tedeschi AND Jeff Corwin grew up. I'd like to think that Jeff has explored this.

Annual fires are beneficial to local ecology. We learned a lot about wiregrass, longleaf pines and the importance fire plays in keeping the local environment healthy.
Got to hike with good friends, my wonderful mother and my 22-month old son at the beautiful Falls Ridge Preserve in Ellett Valley, Virginia.

Atamasco Lily (Zephyranthes atamasca), also called Rain Lily. Moody Forest WMA, Appling County, Georgia.
This is the only slug I saw, but right on the trail! It was about the size of a thumb, though longer as it stretched out. A full size banana slug would be so much bigger. We love our banana slugs, and they really live in the woods, not our gardens. Our gardens have invasive slugs from Europe, so I have few qualms about doing away with them.
