A close up photograph of a butterfly resting on a cluster of Lantana flowers. The butterfly has dark black wings with a brilliant iridescent blue patch and a prominent horizontal white stripe. Its delicate legs and antennae are visible as it perches on a bloom that transitions from pale yellow in the center to soft pink on the outer petals. Several other flower clusters and green serrated leaves are blurred in the foreground and background, creating a shallow depth of field that emphasizes the butterfly. The lighting is soft and natural, highlighting the textures of the wings and the intricate details of the flower buds.
A close up photograph captures a butterfly in mid-motion as it rests on a cluster of Lantana flowers. The butterfly features velvety black wings with a large patch of iridescent sapphire blue and striking white horizontal stripes. Its wings are spread open, showing a slight blur at the edges that suggests movement. The flower cluster consists of small tubular blooms in shades of soft pink and bright yellow. Lush green leaves with serrated edges provide a rich, textured background that is softly out of focus. The natural lighting emphasizes the contrast between the dark wings of the butterfly and the bright, delicate colors of the garden flora.

The background is filled with lush green foliage and several other blurred flower clusters, creating a natural and peaceful garden setting. The focus is sharp on the butterfly and the central flower, highlighting the delicate textures of the wings and petals.

Spring has arrived — and so has Bloodroot!
This early bloomer gets its name from the bright red sap in its roots.
Its flowers only last a day or two, and ants help spread its seeds!
Thanks to Lola Pryor for this beautiful photo from Terradise Nature Preserve! #Wildflowers #OhioNature #nativeplants

Polypore fungi are nature’s recyclers, breaking down wood and enriching forests! While we don’t know this species, Ohio is home to many. Look for their tough texture and tiny pores underneath.
📸 Thanks to Dan Sheridan for these great shots! #OhioNature #Fungi
Ferns and forest near a bog. This area was destroyed shortly after my visit by a "small" tornado. It was perfect the day I walked here....

Eastern bluebirds add color to Ohio’s winter! 🌟 They flock together, feed on berries, and roost in nest boxes to stay warm. Thanks, Lola Pryor, for these amazing shots!
