There’s a rabbit nest next to our blueberry bushes. Specifically, this species is the eastern cottontail. The mother cottontail digs a shallow burrow and covers it with plants and her own fur. Twice a day, she will check on her babies and provide them with milk. #photography #nature

The eastern hognose snake (Heterodon platirhinos) is a harmless species native to the eastern US and Canada. When threatened, it will pretend to strike as if it is venomous. If that fails, it will pretend to die and release a foul musk. #photography #snake #nature

This snake (known as the northern black racer) has been living in our mailbox for the past month. It gave our mail lady a fright, so I relocated it to our treehouse. They’re nonvenomous, but they still bite, so I made sure to wear thick gloves while handling. 🌿🐍 #photography #nature

Ever wondered what fireflies look like up close? This is the common eastern firefly (Photinus pyralis), which is found across eastern North America. Soon enough, we'll be seeing a lot them at dusk. #photography #nature

I just did some research. Most likely it was caught off South Africa or eastern Africa. The other species of coelacanth, which lives in Indonesia, was not discovered until the 1990s, which is way after 1965.

If you're on a roadtrip between Chattanooga, TN and Atlanta, GA, the Tellus Science Museum is a really cool stop. It's just north of Cartersville, GA, right off I-75. There's even a truckstop next door, in case you're driving an 18 wheeler! Science rules!! #museum #science

Tulum is the third most-visited archeological site in Mexico, and that's for good reason. When you visit, it is an impressive sight to behold. The Mayans built this walled city on the shore of the Caribbean Sea between 1200 and 1450 AD. #photography #history
