Good Frosty Morning NestieLuvs
We have a nippy...or as a much loved Nestie once called it...nipply...17°F here. 
Thanks for your comments and concern about the quaking in my area of North Texas. 
Annie ~ I believe I remember you telling about the one that had your pool water sloshing and bed rocking & rolling...scary.
Also remember thinking how happy I was not to be living in California. Little did I know there was no need for me to live there, as the quakes would soon be visiting my town.
Carolyn, Annie, Texie, Judy, & Scott ~ The seismologists are now calling these, “man made quakes”...caused by “Fracking Disposal Wells”...not the act of drilling itself.
Quite a bit of that currently going on here...voted and approved by our City Council some years ago...against citizen complaints this very thing may happen.
Another strike against our, “we'll do it our way, like it or lump it” governing bodies.
Add the fact there is a fault line that runs from Irving/Dallas area down to San Antonio. It is called the Balcones Fault and it is the shaded area in purple:
Believe Irving is right smack dab over the epicenter of that little darlin. 
Hearing/learning all this doesn't improve the situation...still just want the fracking and quaking to stop before enough damage is done we have a big one.
Thanks for letting us know about the Berry College Eagles first egg, Iona.
I enjoyed going along on Wednesday's Drive, Scott, thanks for the invite.
What type tree is that in 16th picture? Reminds me of a Willow...and please don't tell me it is a green tree. 
I enjoyed seeing all the pictures, and especially love that set of three...18th picture reminds me of a Christmas tree with a majestic Eagle topper. 
Wishing all a good day...
Jean

Good Morning.....
Beautiful Linda, albeit frigid for you.
Jean, Great explanation. The map is fascinating. I was putting in my mind places I have been and what is under the earth.
"Don't mess with Mother Earth".......no one listens.
Scott, Great drive and thanks for the bear report.
Annie, I slept through a quake in Japan when I was 16. It was not a big one or I guess I would have awakened.
Have a great day everyone not listed
Oh Iona, the Berry chick is a lovely gift.

Brrrrrrrr The waving hand needs a fat coat & a big glove. 
I hear we have a reinforcing shot of arctic air coming in tonight; meaning the rest of you probably already have it.
Doree, it appears to be especially cold, even for your area. Stay safe & warm.
I was sure wrong in stating the hawk, merlin/kestrels & eagles did not like photo ops, Scott. 
Once again, amazing the black bears eat something so small as snow fleas. 
Thanks for the interesting link, Annie. I'd have had to look it up, too. 
So, Scott, I guess the cubs learn tree climbing skills from practice in the den on Mom. 
Feel better, JuD 
Linda....as cold as I've been the last week, your winter pics make for a warm feeling while viewing your beautiful work. 
Great info on the tectonic map, Jean.
From what I understand, ......they create fractures in the rocks, inject fluid into the cracks & force them further open. That allows more oil and gas out where it can be extracted. I wonder if that causes the ground to settle and it'd be interesting to know just how much settling has happened around the old Texas Stadium site where a lot of the quakes have been centered.
The Edwards Aquifer is part of the Balcones (pronounced Balconeys) Fault Zone & one of the largest aquifers in the world. A whole other interesting story. 
Carolyn.......it's rather chilly for your part of texas. 
Sal, PJ
for now
