I like the appearance of the stiff glossy leaves on this little Dwarf Chinkapin Oak (Quercus prinoides), and find myself looking at this photo a lot. It could be a good plant to experiment with as an indigenous species for sunny garden borders in somewhat sandy soils in parts of the northeastern United States, such as the Long Island Pine Barrens and vicinity. This individual has some little acorns that might get collected for that purpose this autumn. ;)

It’s easy to get good photos of a groundhog if they live under your porch and come up on the steps and look right at you through the door…

I’ve been going through my old bivalve photos to make the background black and I think this is my favorite one so far! I appreciate the details on the siphons.

I completely forgot this one existed! I love the motion that was captured. There was a bullfrog on a floating log I was observing, and when it jumped toward me, it created a small splash!

This Chestnut-backed Chickadee. It was hovering! I wouldn’t believe it myself at this point, except… how did I get this photo then?

I was pretty stoked with these long-tailed weasel photos. I had seen one far away a little earlier, which was the first weasel I’d ever seen, when we came across some folks stopped on the trail and I heard “it’s so cute!”
I asked her what she was looking at and she said an animal was coming out of a burrow, so I thought maybe it was a gopher. Nope, a super adorable weasel with a burrow maybe 2 meters off the trail! We stayed nice and quiet and it come out again after maybe 5 minutes.
