Devastating news... Veterans, PLEASE reach out if you need help! The Veterans Crisis Line is the real deal, USE IT! Or talk to a friend or a family member. You can reach out to ME if you want. I'm available 24/7 to talk to ANYBODY. I'm not a counselor, but I've been there before. You're not alone

Set up the camera on a little swamp behind where I work, and caught a pretty cool scene. Unfortunately, the hawk didn't catch what it was going after 🤣 #hawk

For the first #ThrowbackThursday of 2025! I thought I'd share a Dogbane Beetle, who was nice enough to hang out with me for a little while back in July. #bugs #beetle #nature #DogbaneBeetle #tbt

Join me for one final walk through nature as we close the chapter on 2024. These are a few peaceful moments from my last hike of the year, accompanied by a few words of reflection and gratitude. Let's see what we can see in 2025!

Happy #mushroommonday
Bluesky! Found these beauties during an unseasonably warm (and foggy) hike yesterday. I know very little about fungi, but I can conclusively tell you that they are purple.

No need to deck the halls when you're in the woods and the holly is already growing there! Merry Christmas Eve, Bluesky!

Cold day today, but the sun is shining and the sky is blue!

Fooling around, working on a thumbnail for an upcoming video. Virgin's Bower could make a pretty decent Santa Clause beard 🤔🎅

Found an interesting log on my lunchtime "hike". It kind of looks like somebody wearing a haz-mat suit and gas mask (at least that's what I see) 🤷‍♂️

I can only post up to a minute of video on here, but here's the beginning of my BRAND NEW video, featuring the beautiful (and useful) Common Reed! If you're interested, you can check out the whole thing on youtube!

New Video! From its beauty to its invasive nature—and even its surprising use as fire kindling—you won’t want to miss this (not too)deep dive into the Common Reed! 🔥

Throwback from summer in Hilton Head. Somebody made a pretty cool sand sculpture. (Note: I did NOT make this, I possess neither the skill nor the patience to make something like this haha)

Went for a hike this afternoon. It was COLD! Spring can't get here soon enough!

Good morning! Here's a squirrel to (hopefully) brighten your Friday!
