Damselfly perched on a leaf for a moment of rest 🍃

Damselflies are close cousins to dragonflies, but have a weaker, more fluttery flight. At rest, they usually hold their wings upright or folded along their body, while dragonflies hold their wings horizontally.

They are easy to tell apart by the eyes. Damselflies have separated eyes on each side of the head, while dragonflies have huge eyes that nearly touch.

Although we mostly see them as winged insects, damselflies spend much of their lives underwater as aquatic nymphs, where they are active predators. They emerge into adulthood by shedding their nymph skin, expanding their wings, and flying off.

This one was so small I could barely see it, and focusing on it between gusts of wind was a challenge. Tiny and easy to miss, but worth slowing down for!

The lizard king 👑

This brown male anole is showing off his bright orange dewlap, a throat fan used for communication.

Most likely he’s saying, “You want to start a street fight with me bring it on but you’re gonna be surprised by how ugly it gets, you don’t even know my real name- I’m the lizard king!”

Such a joy to see otters in the wild 🦦
Loved watching these playful creatures chase each other, catch fish, and stare back at me with curiosity from their little riverbank world

Hummingbird madness at the feeder yesterday morning, the males have arrived! So cool watching them chase and u turn dive after each other. They flew right up to my face to check me out, getting more comfortable with me!

Always room for improvement but here are my favorite hummingbird shots yet! Got a bleeding heart plant from Netta’s this weekend and was glad to see them take to it immediately. So nice to see them drinking from flowers along with the feeder!

Found a baby painted turtle in my garage yesterday, released it to freedom in the yard! Couldn’t believe how tiny the little guy was, hope it grows big and strong! I wish him well 🐢

Happy Mother’s Day! I was so happy to see an oriole in our backyard for the first time yesterday! The best part was getting to share the excitement with my mom while she was over. I might have scared her with my excited yelling out the window, she thought something bad had happened 😅 I was just in awe of this beautiful bird! I had only put the oranges out an hour ago and couldn’t believe my luck. Orioles symbolize joy and good fortune, something my mom is always bringing to my life!🍊
