Although it is Caturday, I don’t have a cat. But I did encounter this turtle laying eggs next to the launch site when I went canoeing earlier this week. The turtle continued to do her business while I prepared the canoe for the water. When I returned from canoeing, the turtle was gone and the hole was covered back up with dirt. Saw a few other similar holes nearby, so this must be a regular site for laying eggs.#wildlife #nature

Good day!
The rain returned during my hike on Thursday. It comes and goes, and varies between drizzle and a strong rain.
More of the same is forecasted.
The rain we’ve had for months is transforming everything.
This is a dry climate. I wouldn’t know it in places.
Be everwell.

Here is a pic from my hike up to the ridge last month in the Presidential Range, White Mountains, NH. Above the tree line, there were significant fields of boulders and the "trail" was marked by cairns like this. I'm planning another trip to the ridge for sometime next month, but approaching from the other side of the ridge (east side). And, yes, more boulders!! #FootpathFriday #hiking #mountains

Good day!
It’s said somewhere (don’t ask me where), that trees that are shunned by other trees in life, become beautiful Lupine in the afterlife.
Maybe it’s just wishful thinking. Maybe not.
Either way, maybe we should see if that works for humans.
Be everwell.

Went canoeing today on a river north of Boston. Very pleasant, ideal conditions. Saw a nice mix of turtles, swans and their cygnets, a heron, and expansive areas of flowering lily pads. So much nature to enjoy in spite of the river winding through neighborhoods! #nature #canoe #river

Here’s yet another waterfall from my tour earlier this month of these beautiful water features in the White Mountains, New Hampshire. Didn’t have to walk very far from the trailhead to see this one! #WaterfallWednesday #hiking #nature

Good day!
I hope I never take my landscape for granted. Even when focused on the foreground, the forest and mountains make their presence known.
For those who aren’t so fortunate, I want that to always be the case. I know what it is to have nature at a distance.
Be everwell.

Good day!
So, it’s summer. The days are growing shorter, though I won’t be able to tell for weeks.
Meanwhile, they’re doubling down on the forecast of cooler temperatures and rain.
I feel like I’ve been teleported to a different region of the country.
Be everwell.

To think that days after I landed in #Italy I fell ill, ruining my chances of hiking and exploring this area more - Instead, I had a few hours of proper energy each day where I could explore safely away from others, and not feel like death.
This is one of the only frames I got of the area as a result - but wow do I love it. Would love to return some day!

Here's an osprey at the start of a fishing dive. When an osprey spots a target, they basically just stop flying, go into a tuck position, let gravity take over and fall from the sky. Huntley Meadows Park, Alexandria, Virginia, USA 28-May-2026 #birds #birdphotography #naturephotography
I’ve been gaining some new followers recently, so it’s time for a reintroduction!
I’m a scientist and macrophotographer, fascinated by all the amazing creatures that live in the soil! I use my photography and media appearances to do science communication on soil biodiversity, to spread awareness and love for the world beneath our feet. Oh, and I’ve got a major book deal to write a popular science book on this subject, which I’m extremely excited about!
Follow my page for interesting soil animal facts, macrophotography and updates!

Adventures of a tiny white gummy bear. When you're a springtail this smol, microfungi are perfect drinking vessels, and slime mold sporangia are towering trees.
I've not been out with my camera much lately; with parenthood, work and book edits taking up all my time. But I hope to pick back up with the macrophotography very soon! New Zealand's hidden soil treasures await discovery!
