Black and white photo of a praying mantis. Triangular head with threadlike antennae extending in opposite directions. Large round eyes with pinprick dots in the center of each. Raised ridges run down from antennae attachment points towards tip of mouth. Long, thin body, blurred, descends at a slight (10°?) angle from the head. Front legs reach out at a 45° angle towards bottom left. Mostly out of frame: the remains of the bumblebee mantis is eating. Background is the blurred foliage of a butterfly bush.

Macro photo of the underside a European paper wasp clinging to the outside of my dining room window in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, on August 18, 2024. Cropped. Applied Samsung Galaxy's "Vivid Film" filter.

Picture shows translucent, pumpkin-orange antennae that taper to opaque gray as they reach their connecting point- the center of a black uni-brow-like line above big, angled, almondine eyes. These large compound eyes plus the mouth, throat, and what look like nostrils (actually simple eyes, I think), are black. Midsection is also black, narrowing as it approaches its final, ovoid, black-and-yellow-striped part. It's front legs are bright orange and appear to be composed of 7 segments, each. Each front leg's segment farthest from the body is white and has tiny white hook-like structures on the end. Mid- and back legs are black in segments closest to the body and switch to yellow-orange. One wing extends from either side of the body, displaying yellow-orange near the body and shifting to charcoal gray by the wingtips.

Photo of a spotted orbweaver (neoscona crucifera) suspended by its silk (not visible) from an out-of-frame bush in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, on November 22, 2023. Abdomen appears dark red and black with white hairs sticking out in random directions. Upper body is silhouetted, appearing black. Legs alternate red and black. Top two legs curve up and out. A small, blurry tuft of silk can be seen between the rearmost leg and abdomen.

Macro photo of what I believe is a juvenile bold jumping spider (phidippus audax) resting on a pale blue metal patio chair. In the background we can see lines of the mesh metal seat and red-brown brickwork showing through. The spider's abdomen is a warm, chestnut brown bordered by a cream stripe near the head. Five stripy legs are visible. All feature cream, coffee, and almost-black brown sections. A medium brown pedipalp is on each side of the mouth. The pedipaps have long cream hairs. (More info about pedipalps is here:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedipalp.) A strip of cream-colored hairs runs in a gentle upside-down-smile curve under the medial eyes. Beneath the furry curve, two yellow-green chelicerae (mouth jaws). It has two glittering black/dark brown eyes in the center of its head and a smaller eye at the upper, outer edge of each central orb. Along the top of the spider's head is a line of sticky-outy dark hairs, with two thin, dense clumps near  the eyes.

Palm trees and other foliage are scattered throughout. Mountains are visible in the distance, if you zoom in. The sky is gray-blue with an abundance of clouds.

Photo shows a bubblegum pink bloom with about 4 dark pink lines on each of its 5 petals. The petals are crinkly and have an uneven outer edge. The center of the bloom has an almost florescent pink protrusion surrounded by cream-colored anthers atop pale pink styles. A star-shaped center is created by the space between the petals. Over the center star, there is a profusion of white hairlike filaments through which green foliage is visible.

Black and white photo of a neighbor's flowers after they'd gone to seed. The largest flower is an almost heart-shaped collection of long, thin seeds on a thin stem. The dark center curves in, bordered by a lighter berm of densely-packed seeds, distinguishable only as dark dots. Around the left abs right edges, seeds are more loosely connected, pulling away from the compact center. The seeds along the edge have oblong heads on thin needles, making each appear to be a corndog on a stick. The seeds are embedded in cottony white fibers. Some of the fibers have begun pulling away from the rest and appear as though they will eventually pull loose and drift to the ground. In the blurry background one can see additional flower heads and stems. Picture taken with mobile phone camera on December 31, 2025.

Closeup photo of the "cup" of a cactus plant. I believe it's in the prickly pear family. The "cup" may be the cactus's fruit, but I'm not certain. I'd welcome being educated in comments. 

In the foreground we're looking into the fuzzy pale yellow and green opening of the cup. Along the rim of the opening are small, tan, pom-pom like fibrous clusters. The sides of the cup are a smooth evergreen, also interspersed with tan pom-pom-like clusters (aka spine clusters or areoles) and occasional longer, thin spines. In the background, blurred, is part of the cactus's pads, including longer, thicker spines and more areoles.

Photographed by me at Rawlings Conservatory in Baltimore, MD, on July 17, 2026. Rotated, cropped, with Samsung "Dawn" filter.

Photo of 3 rows of dark green, Christmas-tree-shaped evergreens. Just past the front row of trees is brighter green foliage. By the middle row, the trees are fuzzy due to the fog. By the back row, fog has rendered the trees barely visible. Taken from window of a moving car en route from Baltimore to Halifax to pick up my eldest for a family exploration of Cape Breton. It was so wonderful to be together. (Taken on May 25, 2026. Rotated/cropped only.)

Photo of a campfire. Most of upper two thirds of image shows sparks flying, which look like thin yellow-orange lines flying outwards from the fire. Three flame tongues  reach upwards, with the leftmost the lowest and the rightmost the highest. In the body of the fire, logs burn red with fire-made cracks etched by black shadows. Parts of logs are black silhouettes. Some are edged with yellow and orange flames. The lower and right of the image is a deep, impenetrable black. This photo was taken with my cellphone at a family campfire in Parkton, Maryland, on October 13, 2018.
