Finding Joy When Days Get Hot
A collection of photos from around the neighborhood. As more and more habitat is destroyed (for wildlife) to make way for more houses (for humans), many animals are making the best of it. We are too...it's really hot.
Nurturing Soil: Getting The Most Of A Summer Hour
Caring for soil is easier to do than micro-managing the whole garden. Here is how I spend an hour in the heat of summer to get the soil ready for fall planting.
When Purple Martins Make It Rain
The kids and I go witness tens of thousands -- perhaps a quarter million! -- Purple Martins come in to roost for the night. Learn about the biggest American swallow and watch video of this amazing event.

As the soaring temps settle into the Gulf Coast region, we settle for birding from the comfort of our swing under the canopy, or -- better -- inside where there's A/C. Enjoy photos of our summer bird residents without having to sweat or toil.
Relaxed and Not So Batty – Part 2
Witness (via video) a matriarchal colony of 20 million bats/pups exit all-at-once for the night.
