nature

If you grew up in Texas, then you are likely familiar with the flower, but I bet there are some things you still don’t know about them. Keep scrolling to learn 5 fun facts about bluebonnets.

Texas is home to so many different landscapes, it is hard to believe that one state contains so much natural diversity and beauty. From water features to rock formations, there is a view everyone is bound to love.

Incredible swimmers, fast runners, a powerful jaw full of sharp teeth, these dangerous creatures could be closer to your Texas home than you think.

Now that we're finally starting to cool off some, it's the perfect time to hit the trails and do some hiking in the Wichita Mountains. Maybe even go camping and make a weekend getaway or staycation out of it. If you're looking for some fall family fun that doesn't cost much you can't beat it!

It also looks like Chris Fehn's mask.

If like me you're bored to death and looking for something, anything to do I may have a solution. The family and I were sitting around trying to think of an activity we can all do together and that doesn't cost too much, even better if it's free! Well after we starting listing "things to do" hiking came up and everyone agreed we'd hit the trails. It's the perfect weekend activity and will get us all outdoors and moving!

This guy comes face to face with a large mountain lion while hiking at Glacier National Park. Just goes to show that you never know what you'll encounter while enjoying the great outdoors. Luckily for this hiker the cat wasn't too hungry and seems more confused by his presence than anything else. This is one big kitty!

I don't know what's more interesting. Seeing this owl out during daylight hours, or watching it being attacked and not doing anything about it. This owl truly doesn't care, it just sits there bored as smaller birds, maybe sparrows dive bomb it repeatedly.

It's definitely not like Disney films! Nature can be a very cruel and unforgiving thing. In the tooth, claw and nail world of wildlife it's truly survival of the fittest! This guy found out the hard way when he released his pet mouse Whiskers into the forest. It was a glorious thing for all of about 30 seconds!

Damn nature you scary! This is one of the craziest videos I've seen in awhile. I've never seen an octopus go on land before to get at prey. I figured they could if they had to, but never thought I'd actually see it happen. Watch as a crab fights for it's life as this octopus launches itself out of the water to catch him.

The tooth, claw and fang reality of nature can be down right disturbing to watch. I love nature shows and seeing wildlife in it's natural habitat. Sometimes nature can be cruel and you end up seeing just how violent and unforgiving it can be.

No cliffhanger here.
