And just like that, there was no more snow #Texas #TX #winter #snow #weather

Really don't want to work tomorrow (due to the freeze), but at least I'll have something tasty for lunch. If the road freezes tomorrow, then I have no excuses for not posting some of my Sam Houston Forest pics. #chili #freeze #don't_want_to_work #update

Oh boy! Can't wait for this place to hopefully become a Costco parking lot one day /j #Forest #fungi #nikon #mycology #SamHoustonNationalForest #Texas #TX #goofy #nikond7500

So you're telling me that this walking stick has been in this forest for 5 years #nature #SamHoustonNationalForest #Texas #TX #Botany #Trees

Sand Tiger Shark 💛 I love these guys so much I think they’re so cute 🥹 #SciArt #copicmarkers #coloredpencils

Stay safe, everyone, during the freeze this month, while for me, I just cooked charro beans to keep me warm. Hopefully, I can upload more photos this week, but I'm not making any promises.
