Fizzy Notions: Parry's Agave
http://fizzynotions.blogspot.com/2012/03/parrys-agave.html
Discoveries in nature and other random thoughts from 2006 to March 2012. Fizzies have not ended. Wednesday, March 14, 2012. Another cool plant of southern New Mexico is Parry's Agave, Agave parryi. Charles Christopher Parry, a naturalist and explorer of the nineteenth century, has quite a large number of species named after him. As wildflower season approaches, my blog will likely become full of species with the name parryi. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Wyoming, United States. Climb the mountains ...

Fizzy Notions: Alligator Juniper
http://fizzynotions.blogspot.com/2012/03/alligator-juniper.html
Discoveries in nature and other random thoughts from 2006 to March 2012. Fizzies have not ended. Tuesday, March 13, 2012. Most of the deciduous trees haven't leafed out yet, so the most conspicuous tree of my trip to New Mexico was the alligator juniper, Juniperus deppeana. Also known as checkerbark juniper, this tree was an interesting and sheltering presence at my campsites with its unique blocked bark and reddish branches. Unlike the common juniper. And Rocky Mountain juniper. Wyoming, United States.

Fizzy Notions: Spotted Towhee
http://fizzynotions.blogspot.com/2012/03/spotted-towhee.html
Discoveries in nature and other random thoughts from 2006 to March 2012. Fizzies have not ended. Sunday, March 11, 2012. It's not terribly easy to get a good photo of a towhee. They enjoy hiding behind branches just to make things difficult. I heard- then saw- a very vocal one singing as loud as he could on the top of a tree, but it was in such early morning light that a picture only barely captured his silhouette.

Fizzy Notions: Elk
http://fizzynotions.blogspot.com/2012/03/elk.html
Discoveries in nature and other random thoughts from 2006 to March 2012. Fizzies have not ended. Monday, March 05, 2012. Laramie is in the midst of a thaw, and with the slush and the winds and it still being early March at 7200 feet, I didn't see anything new worth blogging about on my walks to and from work. So I am going to take the opportunity to write- perhaps for the rest of the week! About the interesting species I saw on March 4 at Red Mountain Open Space in Colorado. Wyoming, United States. The i...

Fizzy Notions: Window Frost
http://fizzynotions.blogspot.com/2012/03/window-frost.html
Discoveries in nature and other random thoughts from 2006 to March 2012. Fizzies have not ended. Saturday, March 03, 2012. The temperature dropped pretty low last night. The combination of single digits outside with the humidifier running indoors overnight caused pretty ice crystals to form on the window this morning. It is probably a sign that the windows are becoming drafty and less efficient- even with the double panes- but it does lead for intricate details on the glass. Wyoming, United States.

Fizzy Notions: Texas Madrone
http://fizzynotions.blogspot.com/2012/03/texas-madrone.html
Discoveries in nature and other random thoughts from 2006 to March 2012. Fizzies have not ended. Friday, March 16, 2012. Another interesting species of my trip south was the Texas madrone tree, Arbutus xalapensis. The state name is accurate in this case, as I saw this tree in McKittrick Canyon of Guadalupe Mountains National Park just across the New Mexican border into Texas. I had never heard of this tree before, but was immediately taken with its twisty branches of reddish wood. Another madron tree in ...

Catch Me If You Can: What Happened?
http://catchbobifyoucan.blogspot.com/p/what-happened.html
Catch Me If You Can. I Used To Have A Blog. To the last 5 years? They really have it in for eagles, you know. But you can't believe a word they say. I took up the quill again when I left the coast, but my heart wasn't in it. My last post in Speed Bumps was about an Airstream I saw while coming down the left coast into California. And from that day, I haven't blogged a bit. It's a puzzlement. Coming soon to a laptop near you. I am sometimes asked how I manage to face up to all the endless. An open parking...

Fizzy Notions: Mountain Bluebird
http://fizzynotions.blogspot.com/2012/03/mountain-bluebird.html
Discoveries in nature and other random thoughts from 2006 to March 2012. Fizzies have not ended. Sunday, March 04, 2012. The winds and high temperatures have made winter activities like skiing seem impossible, so today I drove south to get a taste of spring. Red Mountain Open Space. One of the species I saw today was the mountain bluebird, Sialia currucoides. These brilliant blue birds are strikingly noticeable and very pretty. If you look closely at the next picture, you can see four male bluebirds perc...
