The world is a big place!
It can be easy to overlook the small things, and the subtle details that make the Earth what it is. So for this month's post... Look Closer!
A great example of the circle of life being completed can be seen here by looking closely at a rotting log. Small trees have begun to sprout from the fallen log, as they are provided with plenty of nutrients from the decomposing organic matter.
Friendly Public Service Announcement:
Summer is back!! ....and so are the ticks.
Make sure to check for and to remove any ticks you find after you've been outside for a while.
Somewhere off the trail, an animal has dug a burrow, probably a fox or coyote.
When I discovered the den, nobody was home, but it was definitely a cool find!
Here, a spider awaits prey to stray close to the trap it has set.
This tree has been struck by lightning.
A scar remains running down the bark.
