Photos shot for the May issue
Summer's just around the corner, bringing us more freedom to get out and enjoy all the nautral wonders of Texas. Load up on inspiration here and get ready for fun in the sun.
Bird City, Tx
Where birds thrive, people prosper.
Imagine your community in 20 years — what do you see?
You might envision some unpleasant images: increased development, less water, fewer native species.
While that seems to be the current path for many of our cities and towns, perhaps the future could look brighter if we designed our communities for the benefit of both people and wildlife.
Hot Crappie Lakes
Sssh! Don't tell anyone else where they're hiding....
Pronounce this popular anglers' quarry incorrectly (it;s KROP-ee) and you may get the wrong idea about crappie. Tasty and tenacious, this panfish is plentiful around the state. Anglers say they live for the thump of a crappie on the line.
Two Feet On The Water
Touring Possum Kingdom on a stand-up paddleboard.
I stand on a fishing pier and survey the blue waters of Possum Kingdom Lake in North Texas. It is a sprawling, picturesque 16,716-acre body of water, nestled along the canyons and limestone bluffs of Palo Pinto County. I plan to spend the next three days touring and exploring those covers atop a stand-up paddleboard (SUP).
Keep Texas Wild
It's not just for kids. If you like nature-related topics in an easy-to-read format, you can find three years of our popular Keep Texas Wild issues and the teacher resources to go along with them.
