Re: SPRING HAS SPRUNG

Think thats a wisteria Hal ...

Re: SPRING HAS SPRUNG

it has the leaves of a mountain laurel. both have beautifull lavender clusters.BUT i thimk he missed the mark on skink. its the urosaurus ornatus ornatus.(texas tree lizard)

Re: SPRING HAS SPRUNG

WHAT A SHOCK,,,,,20 yrs I been callin that weed a Laurel. Got on Google, sure as heck is Wisteria ( now
I gotta undo 20 yrs of fixation on Laural )

And tnk you Pat, I wasn't really sure, I'm not real knowledgable on marsupials.

It's been a loser day so far,,,can we agree that that is somebody's thumb ?

Re: SPRING HAS SPRUNG

Hal, a marsupial? Looks like your having a bad day all around

Re: SPRING HAS SPRUNG

Re: SPRING HAS SPRUNG

a marsupial?


Nobody would have believed Crustacean

Not near as much as in many yrs past in Centex, Trav, Geniuses on the TV say it's going to be a poor season.

How bout N TX ? Alpine fleurs pokin through the snow yet

Re: SPRING HAS SPRUNG

Hi There Hal, Nice photos, hate to have to CORRECT you, but that awesome little lizard you showed is NOT a skink, though skinks certainly do occur in your part of Central TX., he's a Fence lizard, also called a Fence Swift, by alotta herp(reptile) people, like myself. As far as the exact type of Fence lizard, hes probably a Western Fence Swift in the reptile books. Thought you should know, Hooray for Spring now Sprung! John in KS

Re: SPRING HAS SPRUNG

Re: SPRING HAS SPRUNG

Hal, moved lovely green weeds yesterday. But that's all. Not a flower in a field.
