Hey, you guys, it’s my buddy the same mockingbird at the same location and same cactus at the Texas Park and Wildlife Headquarters in Austin. I decided to name him Mocky. I guess he decided to greet me a few days later on after my first visit to look for plants at the head quarters. Maybe he is just territorial. I guess he wants the State Rangers of the Texas Parks and Wildlife to protect him. Why do I feel like Darla from Finding Nemo? “ I will call him my squishy and he will be mine.”

I hope all this rain will not wash away all the great stuff we will need to look for in lab. This is algae on top of rocks under the murky waters of my creek. I was glad it was at least sunny when I took this picture.My creek has fishes, turtles , and sometime water canes. Sometimes, you can see the turtles rise their heads up above the murky waters, took this picture in the evening when sun was out. This is as close that I can get a picture of a turtle in my creek sticking his head out without me scaring them away or jumping into the middle of the creek from the bridge as I get closer for a picture. But then they are swimming in the middle of the creek. Water is murky at times.

Romero (Salvia rosmarinus)Observ.

The rosemary is in a shaded area to protect it from armadillos, raccoons, and etc. It has to have a lot of light to bloom. I need a greenhouse. I will transplant after this nasty weather is over. I’m not allowed to gate in my yard due to wildlife in my yard like the Zilker botanical gardens. Wildlife hangs out in my yard.

They sure like hanging out at Dan Hamburger. Now I know why birds are hanging out here at Dan due to a shortage of natural foods in the wild for winter. No wonder there are no berries on the mistletoe tree.
