Certified firefly habitat sign with a winter firefly resting below the sign
Certified firefly habitat sign with a winter firefly resting below the sign, an arrow points out the small beetle.
I’ve deemed my property a certified #firefly habitat and this Winter Firefly approves!
Macro shot of moss and lichen on a piece of wood along with a tiny spider.
Zoomed in image of the tiny spider
The smaller you go, the bigger the world becomes!
This image covers maybe 1” across and yet has so much life. I didn’t even notice the spider until I reviewed the photo. I looked back at the area I’d shot and I still couldn’t see it.

Black and white Image of a large oak tree over a small rural cemetery
“The Silent Guardian.” David Greer Family Cemetery in Lansing, NC. With the low angle of my shot, you may not be able to tell but this oak tree is huge and must be 300+ years old. #BWphotography #cemetery #monochrome #rural #photography #LansingNC
