Colder nights on the lake. #nature #photography #sunset

Some lake zooplankton samples. 🔬 #ecology #environmentalscience #science #biology #conservation

Invasive zebra muscles readily colonized the underside of our deep lake buoy over the course of the season. #ecology #environmentalscience #nature #fieldwork

It’s fall 🍁 so that means it’s time for the long-term monitoring buoys to start coming out of the lake. #nature #environmentalscience #ecology

Some shots from my “office” this week doing long term water quality monitoring on the lake. #nature #ecology #conservation #outdoors #environmentalscience

A few from this summer #nature #outdoors #hiking #photography

The look of this yellow birch is the result of a sapling sprouting atop a fallen tree known as a “nurse log”. As the log beneath decays, what’s left is this striking stilted appearance. #nature #ecology #forest #photography #hiking

Odie’s first time seeing a turtle. 🐢 #nature #hiking #outdoors #dogs #turtle

An unexpected addition was made to the family a few weeks ago. Odie came to the house after being dumped on the side of the road. After being unable to find his owner, I decided to keep him. He’s going to be doing a lot of hiking this summer. ⛰️ #hiking #dogs #pets

Rediscovering my childhood love of dinosaurs recently. Here's a WIP of some paleoart - a baby Eotriceratops sleeping alongside its mother. #art #sciart #paleoart #nature #illustration #digitalart

I'll get back to doing more nature pieces soon. I just can't help drawing these old barges. #art #illustration #ink #graphite #vintage

This baby Garter snake wanted to let me know he was serious business. I relocated him to somewhere with some more ground cover. #snake #reptile #wildlife #nature #photography

A female yellow garden spider with some lunch. You can see part of the tell-tale “zig zag” pattern in the center of the web also known as a stabilimentum. #spider #insect #nature #outdoors #wildlife #photography

These are Beech blight aphids. They primarily feed on the sap from beech trees. While generally not causing much harm to the tree, they can result in dieback. When threatened they display this rhythmic swaying leading some to call them Boogie-Woogie aphids. #photography #nature #hiking #wildlife

(Environmentally) green burials. An interesting topic that's seen a resurgence due to an increasing interest in our impacts on nature. Also a topic I initially considered when starting my master's program. ⚰️🌱

Some Wrens took up residence in one of the bluebird monitoring nest boxes last summer. On one of my last checks the chicks decided it was time to leave. Mom’s yelling in the background. #birds #bird #photography #wildlife #nature #outdoors

Spent some of an afternoon with this Midland Painted turtle at a WMA last summer. One of the 11 species of freshwater turtle we have in New York. 🐢 #turtles #wildlife #nature #photography #outdoors #ecology #wetlands

Combing through my macrophotography from last year got me inspired to draw some of my favorite insects. Having fun drawing this one. What do you all think? #biodiversity #sciart #insects #gardening #pollinators #nativeflowers #naturalist #bugart

The juvenile form of the Eastern newt, known as a Red eft. Their bright orange coloring serves as a deterrent against potential predators. After a few years on land, they return to the water to complete their life cycle and turn an olive green. #wildlife #nature #hiking #amphibians #photography

Spring means hearing the birds sing again. Starting another page in the sketchbook. #art #sciart #sketchbook #illustration #birds #birding #nature #outdoors

Tried a quick digital coloring of an existing sketchbook page after scanning it. #birds #birding #nature #wildlife #ecology #sciart #sketchbook
