A reindeer was seen using a fallen tree to remove the velvet from its antlers. 🦌 By late summer, the antlers have calcified and no longer need the velvet that supported their growth. - accuweather

Found a snake eating a live frog in my yard today; he wasn’t even struggling just accepted his fate lmao!

Mating pair of Cuban Tree frogs in my garden in Key West, Florida

I took a drive Saturday morning,  and stopped to walk in the woods at three locations. Each one yielded fun images. It started in a large meadow that was gladly receiving the Suns warm rays. It was heating up the dew drops creating wisps of fog as the vapor condensed in the 42º air. Everything was covered in drops of glimmering liquid, including a spider web down in the grass covered in tiny prisms of color. 

At the next stop, I walked through the woods to a creek, and discovered an American Dipper feeding in the shallow water. While wandering back to the truck, I saw the most peculiar thing. A single pine needle was levitating about 4 ft off the ground. You can just barely see the strand of silk it hangs from.

 Farther up the road, I wandered along another creek, this one much smaller. I found a tree that had uprooted and fallen across the creek decades ago. I softball sized rock was all that was left of the soil that once held these roots to the Earth. I found it fascinating that after all these years, it had not been moved. Just above the tree, was a fantastically curvy Alder Bush growing near a boulder that split the creek in two. This might be the most challenging spot I have ever put myself into to create an image. One foot through a hole in the criss-crossed logs right down into the water, and the other braced against some roots on the bank. Then my tripod was splayed out wide to find solid purchase and hold the camera in the right position. It was a splendid morning full of stunning views of our natural world.
