On the surface, this looks like a math question. 😂

90% of people fail it 😯

Lots of very hungry caterpillars in the little preserve today! Based on the vibrancy of the orange, I suspect this Gulf Fritillary recently emerged from its cocoon.

Ok, crap photography moment. I was trying to focus on the blue sage in the front. BUT my camera had better plans. Instead, the pic shows the black-eyed Susans, some pink pentas (not native), beauty berry, and saw palmettos. This kinda sums up my approach to the preserve: let Mother Nature take the lead.

Went camping last weekend near a Florida native plant nursery. Like, did I plan that? 😂 Feeling very excited about this native haul!

I am always fascinated by the various shapes of wildflower blooms. These pics are of flowers currently blooming in my little preserve. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!

Took a walkabout through the preserve with my camera. I am amazed at what my eye misses but the camera lens captures.
