When everything is terrible find the glimmers.
My glimmer today was my first Eastern Box Turtle sighting in the wild! This is most likely a female finding a good spot to lay her eggs. Males typically have bright red or orange eyes!

This little hermit crab reminds me of WALL-E with those eyes. Fitting since hermit crabs eat almost anything, keeping the ocean floor tidy.

We raised some caterpillars last summer and the moths are just starting to eclose now! They spend a few weeks as caterpillars and will spend a few weeks as moths but they spent almost a year as pupae!

Stop and smell the roses. Stop and meet your neighbor. Stop and appreciate your fellow earthlings.

This is Monster Tree. My 2 year old buddy and I visit daily to give him pets and feed him sticks and leaves.
Try to see nature through the eyes of a toddler and you’ll remember magic.

Trying to be like this little guy here and just roll with it…*
*um, actually this is a sowbug NOT a pillbug and while they are both isopods, the sowbug cannot roll into a ball.

In this phase of my life I am a nanny to a 2 year old boy. We spend our days roaming the forest and asking life’s big questions like, “Can I eat a pine needle?” (The answer to that one is no) and “Can I eat a partridge berry?” (That one is a yes.)

Humans continue to disappoint me but the forest never does. Welcome back salamanders, I missed you.

I don’t crochet but I walk in the forest and take pictures of moss. There is something about moss.

Same. Not a photographer but that doesn’t stop me from taking pictures of moss.
