Super day for walking/hiking Bright Leaf Preserve with the TOWNies. Seven folks joined JacqueA (JanetFB, JoanB, KimW, LisaS, LoisK [with husband Steve], and MarshaK) to walk about 3 miles through the property. Our walking and talking time totaled 3 hours. Following our hike, five of us met at Kneaded Pleasures for lunch.
Among the plants and animals we talked about were: trees (Ashe Juniper, Escarpment Black Cherry, Lindheimer Silk Tassel, Texas Buckeye, Texas Oak, and Texas Redbud); birds (Carolina Wren and Golden Cheeked Warbler); butterflies (Giant Swallowtail and Red Admiral); and plants (Nostoc – an ancient seaweed, Star Moss, Prickly Pear, Wild Onions, Red Tipped Photinia, Cedar Age, Flame Acanthus, and Inland Sea Oats).
Thanks for coming everyone!
Jacque
