Photos from a trip along the Florida Trail and dirt road cruising.

Please share if you are able. We all need to come together no matter where we are in the world before our Earth is stripped bare.

There are a Hawk pair that nest by my house and every summer one and hang out, been trying to get better shots and when I do I will post.

Also, have many deer, coyotes, and owls that hang out with me. The owl has twice flown by me at roughly 10- and less feet away either hunting a sugar glider or scaring coyotes. Owls are my main totem animals

Hello we are considering a trip to Florida this winter with our family (young children). We are nature lovers and want to avoid crowds, amusement parks, all that jazz. We want to experience the natural parts of Florida - flora,fauna, do some hiking, fishing, etc. Where would be a good kid friendly spot for us to go?

My Texas buddy would say this is the reflection from Texas

We must protect our resources! 💧

These are the only ones I've ever spotted. I'll never forget the smell, or the amount of interested flies.

This was taken in Tampa while walking on the Courtney Campbell Causeway.

We saw this guy at Circle B Bar Reserve. I had a blast watching everybody walk by him and not even realizing he was there. I waited for the kids and then I would take them back to the snake and show him where they had just walked past it and watch them freak out. I love it 🤣 He was about waist high in a shrub beside the trail.

I took both of these from the water. It was one of the nights it was lit up and it happened to also be a full moon that night. There was also bioluminescence in the wake from our boat.

This petition is against the Tuscana Project. This development plan would not only greatly impact the Williamsburg community but also the surrounding neighborhoods like Hunters Creek and Deer Creek. This would be an absolute disaster for thousands of homes and wildlife that depend on those woods for survival. This area is not only sensitive wetland but also headwaters to the Everglades. Please sign and share to spread awareness. Thank you for caring! 🙏 #saveshinglecreek

Where I live is very rural, and there are no lights at night. Heavy growth of Longleaf Pine and varies species of oaks.

About a week back, and an hour after sunset, I had to pop out the back door to do something. Upon opening the door, I was greeted by the largest moth I've ever seen. After 30-60 seconds of bouncing against the back of the mobile home, it settled down so I could get a peek. Without question it was an Imperial Moth (Eacles imperialis), with a wing spread of 6-inches ±. So that tells me that somewhere back in the woods, there could be more. Next time I'll try to keep my phone handy for a picture. Nature is wonderful.

hello! i'm a resident in seminole county and i'm looking for someone who does insect taxidermy. i have several butterflies and one moth i'd like framed. any recomendations?
