I took this in Montana, on the north side of Yellowstone. The flat, soft lighting due to wildfire haze gave this photo a painterly look.

Wildfire haze made this landscape shot on the north side of Yellowstone look so moody.

This beautiful girl is s green lynx spider. I coaxed her into posing on this pink dahlia from a flower arrangement we had in the house.

The first time I saw a photo of bees curled up asleep in a flower I thought it had to be staged. Surely this is entirely too perfectly adorable to be real. Bees don't really sleep in flowers, do they?

They do.

Here's a tiny ambush bug. It's about the size of an apple seed.

This is one of my favorite photos. I was so fortunate to see this tiny white crab spider hiding among the purple butterfly bush flowers.

This is an armored harvestman (opiliones) and contrary to every single thing your eyes are telling you, is not a spider. If you look closely, you can see a tiny white mite, near the left chelicera

If you like back lit owls, you might like this shot I got in Arizona.

This sunrise had the woods looking like they were on fire. One of the wildest sunrises I've ever seen.
