The water splashes over it and another snail is further down on the same rock A tiny freshwater snail swims in a small shallow puddle in the palm of my hand.

It’s Shark Week. Still no sightings in Nevada, but I’m always vigilante! I’ll let you know if any are spotted nearby! 🦈

Thrips nymph on a calendula.

Been playing with a micro lens for iPhone lately and it’s so cool! I included a macro shot of the calendula for a sense of scale. The entire flower is about 2 inches wide.

Happy late #InsectThursday

A tiny slender yellow thrips insect nymph crawls on the central disk flowers of a yellow calendula flower. He kind of looks like a tiny, somewhat translucent shrimp.

A gorgeous female Spicebush Swallowtail on Echinacea.

Her white markings look like hearts from this angle.🤍

I was 32 miles from the ocean, what I supposed to do - just drive home?

The #smooth glassy waters of Lake Superior for #BlueSkyArtShow
The serene water of Lake Superior on a clear day, with some ripples in the water from a kayak paddle and a red buoy. The water reflects the blue sky and the trees of an island in the background.

Is that a seashell? Is this the ocean?

No, it’s #fungifriday and we’re looking at a little guy on one of the #ApostleIslands! It does look like a seashell though…

Happy #floralfriday from this passionflower! I can hardly believe a plant this zany exists outside of the Dr. Seuss universe. Seen at the University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum.

Purple coneflower 💜
This native flower is one of my favorite blooms! I love the pattern and texture of the center and the petals remind me of ballerina skirts.

Hogwarts is literally teaching students about witchcraft and wizardly. Less curriculum on magic and more on policing bathrooms!

Waheyy I finally also found a Schizophyllum!

Without the lovely people of the Bluesky mycelium I wouldn’t have known to look under these, so thank you! 🥰

A group of circular, white to beige mushrooms on a tree. The tops are fluffy, almost woolly, and the bottoms have beige gills that are organized in pairs, in a pleasing and symmetrical way.

The very first Lichenomphalia umbellifera lichens I found. I think you can see why I lost my mind over them and am still obsessed with them. Distance shot below ⬇️
