i think this one will be a fungus observation in a few days...

Found on Arabis rock cress by @mhodges1957. Imaged on a different host plant.

seen visiting mock orange blossoms on the first or second day they were blooming

Alarmed my dog in our yard, so I netted it and brought it over to the creek to avoid injury to either party.

Base of hardwood slope forest, small-stream bottomland

Found in the open in turkey oak scrubland, very xeric sand. Feeding on a noctuid larva. I have been searching for this spider for 15 years+ in GA... and this is my first one.

Accurately named waterfall.

Phone camera GPS didn't sync. A little down the creek from Filmy Fern Falls. New favorite lichen? Maybe. Wowwwwww it's so pretty.

Both on the same tree different dates, one sunny and cloudy, on unk species of hardwood.

What a beautiful flycatcher.

Came out of nowhere and started flying around Atwood 260. Landed on the floor and was captured and released into the courtyard.

Sedge wren? Have only seen that species in photos so not sure.

Taken in the beach area that you can walk to behind the lighthouse. With a camera without GPS so not precise coordinates.
