A tiny snail with its mouth attached to a wet river rock on the shore of a river. 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. Its body and shell are amber colored and the shell turns black near the tip

Love the sunset color gradient on this flower!

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

Such a cheery photo!

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.

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

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

Gorgeous!

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…

A passionflower with thin, wire-y, wavy purple petals surrounded by green leaves

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.

Paradise

Ghost plant! So beautiful to find.

A purple coneflower with a beautiful spiky center showing off the mathematical patterns in nature and soft pink petals

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.

Yes! And all the different types - so biodiverse!

Thank you!!

My fingers gently bend the thin stem of the mushroom to get a shot of the gills under the cap

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

Beautiful distractions needed and appreciated!

Beautiful!

It´s all about mushrooms!
