A Few Butterflies in the Medina River Upland Woods

Tuesday, November 27, 2012

Other than the American snouts that were feasting on the Condalia fruit yesterday along the Medina River Greenway, most of the butterflies weren't perching long enough for me to take their photo. Perhaps they sensed the impending change in the weather with another cold front approaching. However, I did manage to get a few photos:

The Upland Woods of the Medina River

Medina River Greenway, Upland Trailhead east

Today's photos:













It is worth noting that this section of the Medina River Greenway passes through beautiful wooded land typical of South Texas owned and maintained by the Land Heritage Institute. The Land Heritage Institute is a consortium of 15 organizations and agencies. It is "a living land museum on 1200 acres of open space along the banks of the Medina River on the far south side of San Antonio preserving, maintaining and interpreting 10,000 years of continual human habitation."

A Perfect Day for a Riparian Woodland Walk

Friday, March 30, 2012

Medina River Greenway, Between the Upland Trailhead and the Old Applewhite Rd Trailhead

Today's photos:





















With a clear blue sky, a bright spring sun and temperatures in the low 80s (F), this was an ideal day for a walk in the riparian woodland along the Medina River. I was particularly pleased to see the lizards have begun to emerge from their winter hibernation.

Medina River Greenway, Upland Trailhead, East, A Long Walk on a Beautiful Winter Afternoon

Monday, January 23, 2012

Today's photos:















This was the first walk I've taken in the past several weeks where I haven't felt rushed trying to squeeze the walk into an otherwise tight schedule. And this was another beautiful, mild South Texas winter day. The photos published here effectively express the experience of this walk.

However, as so often happens when I have time to really be in the moment, there are many more photos. In order to more effectively organize the photos, there will be at least two, possibly three, more posts.
