The aurora made another appearance in NC tonight. From the sound of it nationwide it dipped down into most of the US.

Last 24hrs were incredible.

Lake Mattamuskeet, the Beaver Moon and the old Lodge gave a wonderful show.

Still sifting through the photos…more to come.

This Russula was growing along a trail just waiting to be discovered. I had to move a few leaves to see the whole stem. About 3 inches in diameter.

The beauty of the decaying Sulfur Cosmos. Plucked from the garden and in my garage studio for better lighting and to avoid the wind for longer exposures.

Head over to FOTO for a photography based site to share your work.

Caught this carpenter bee resting in the overnight chilly air awaiting the sun to charge batteries. Made for an excellent opportunity to shot a few photos.

Working on some more still life. I really find this very relaxing as I set it up and position lights, diffusers, and reflectors and then start adjusting and making camera changes.

Caught a partial rainbow over a local farm.

Tiniest of mushrooms. A fragile dapperling embedded in a fallen tree. I would never of noticed it if I weren’t with my nose to the trunk looking at something completely different.

This tiny lizard was playing on the deck this morning while I was having some coffee. Its body was only about 3-4cm in length. In this picture he is giving me some serious side eye.
