A yet-to-be-identified arachnid I found near our garden. Such beautiful teal green coloration on its legs. #SpidersAreAwesome https://www.instagram.com/p/CeH76YeMMgj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Caught some great fish during our trip last weekend. Glad this small mouth decided to show up. #GetOutdoors (at Elkin, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbjPbjnsOiJ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Fun day on the creek today. Wish I knew what frog I captured here in this photo. My initial thought was a leopard frog but this guy was tiny, maybe an inch long and the texture of the skin just doesn’t match up to either a leopard or a pickerel, for that matter. Might be a cricket frog of some variety. Best guess is a Southern Cricket Frog. #GetOutdoors (at Uwharrie National Forest) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTJFwX6MfBn/?utm_medium=tumblr

Fortunate this little guy was patient and trusted me enough to let me get this great closeup shot tonight. Look at the coloration! He was perched right outside our back patio door under the light fixture. Ideal hunting grounds for him I’m sure 🐸 #BarkingTreeFrog (at Mebane, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSxxr93M5SC/?utm_medium=tumblr

Leaf-footed bug (nymph) on patrol (on my grill cover). I used to see this guy every day I went out to check out the wife’s garden. I’m afraid the resident praying mantis got him a few days after I took this pic. #Nature #BugsAreCool https://www.instagram.com/p/CRzzP_nsiz2/?utm_medium=tumblr

Tiny lil’ ring neck snake I found a few weeks back #latergram (at Uwharrie National Forest) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQKhQ6jsSy3/?utm_medium=tumblr

Some kind of fishing spider, me thinks, and a cool little minnow I caught in a beautiful creek. (at Pisgah National Forest) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPBVVTKsFIt/?utm_medium=tumblr

Caught a few yesterday. Beautiful creatures these are. #LargeMouthBass #Bluegill #Fishing #NorthCarolina https://www.instagram.com/p/CMcCHmasFu-/?igshid=1jdpl22b9t0ik

Caught the stocked trout trifecta over the last few days of fishing in the mountains. Absolutely beautiful fish. #BrookTrout #BrownTrout #RainbowTrout #NorthCarolina #Fishing #PatiencePaysOff (at Altamont, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIMeMxLs-_1/?igshid=1ne583enqumro

At it again. I’m the pack mule this time, luggin’ the backpack through the bush to get to the place he meticulously picked out after reviewing topographic maps of this place. Love doing this stuff with him. Shhh... I think I heard something... #TeacherWorkday #NorthCarolina #Crossbow #Hunting (at Caswell County, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGzkSnkMRNK/?igshid=136jj5zsusyz9
