      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

      Photo of turtle with its tail end in a shallow freshly dug hole in ground. Fresh dirt can be seen next to hole. The turtle is covered with green algae from the water which blends in with the surrounding grass.

        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.

        A narrow trail passes through lush, green grass in the forest on the side of a mountain, the trees pines. It’s cloudy, but there’s a glimpse of the mountains across the valley.

              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!!

              Photo of pile of rocks (cairn) on side of steep sloping rocky mountain. The side of the mountain is covered with large boulders. The mountain ridge that this is part of is seen in background. Blue skies with some clouds overhead.

This is at the beginning of Jewell Trail where it intersects Westside Trail. This is on the west side of the ridge of the Presential Range.  Next month's hike is planned to approach the ridge from the east side.

                  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!

                          In the Southeast the fireflies peak this exact week, rising out of the monkey grass like the yard is exhaling sparks. The brightest small fires arrive precisely as the days begin to shorten.

                          Two truths, neither canceling the other. Maybe that is the whole instruction.

Too, there’s a pattern that’s easily visible, of irregular, vertical stripes. The trunk extends until it’s no longer visible. The shy is mostly cloudy.

                                                  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!
