One hand typing for now – I had surgery to repair my left
rotator cuff and am in a sling. But I
have some critters to show you!
In September, the Galveston Bay Area Chapter of Texas Master
Naturalists held an advanced training class about dragonflies. The fascinating class was taught by Bob Honig
with assistance from Maggie Honig. We
were lucky to be at the Armand Bayou Nature Center which has ponds that are perfect
habitat for dragons.
