This is a Camponotus pennsylvanicus queen crawling around after a nuptial flight.
As I was going to get some gas for the city vehicle, I spotted this heron and, of course, had to pull over. :)
Sunset hike on Bluebonnet Hill Trail I observed several blooming plants This was a tree. blooms similar to a Bradford pear but it was in a heavily treed area in full shade. you can see the sky from my photos from under the tree,,, the last photo is of it along the trail
