Springtime in the swamp

Wow, it's been several days since I could visit the swamp, and spring had sprung while I was away. The birds are singing, trees leafing out, and flowers blooming. I noticed lots of bees zipping around the hives. There were critters sunning: this skink, plus snakes, a green lizard, and turtles. Thistles looked like a prickly situation.

I finally found the Geocache that's hidden near the Bluebonnet Library, but a picture would give it away... took me a year to figure out that camouflage. I can't decide whether to be proud of resolution, or give in to my frustation and never look for another one.
