A little rain washes the dust off the world, and it somehow seems a little brighter. #capturedinthemoment #inmyownbackyard #aftertherain #eveningwalk #creekside (at Fort Worth, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAohihXnPQD/?igshid=6ahtdactkx61

I still find it pretty amazing what my iPhone camera can do! This tiny long-legged fly is only about 1/4-1/2” in size, yet I was able to get a nice, clear shot that reflects the color and detail. #capturedinthemoment #longleggedfly #fly #arthropod #dolichopodidae #iphonex #iphonephotography #iphonephoto #inmyownbackyard #naturephotography #nature #naturelovers (at Fort Worth, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CErUIihnRss/?igshid=7hpbwp8hfu1u

Morning walk yesterday I happen upon this rather large wolf spider. She kept hiding (well, she thought she was!) if I got too close. She was easily 1.5" or more in length with interesting dots on her abdomen. Upon closer inspection, I realize she is Ubering an entire family of spiderlings! Fascinating to see, but I’m not sure I want her in my house when they all jump off! Fun fact: female wolf spiders are the only spider that carries their young on their bodies. They carry around the egg sac until the babies hatch then carry them around for the first week or two until the young spiders disperse. #wolfspider #wolfspiderbabies #wolfspiderwithbabies #capturedinthemoment #spiders #spider #spiderfacts #arachnid #iphone #iphone6 #nature #naturewalk #naturelove #naturelover #naturephoto #arachnaphobia #wolfspiders (at Colleyville, Texas)

I visited downtown Fort Worth on Tuesday for a new place to walk. I wasn’t expecting to find it so empty at 2PM on a workday. Sundance Square, normally full on a vacation week, was blocked off for holiday decorating that is usually completed. A bit surreal and a reflection of real life in this time. #capturedinthemoment #downtownfortworth #covid_19 #lifebehindthemask (at Sundance Square) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIEJtw_nX6e/?igshid=uxg3822r5z28

Daisy and I walked and walked and walked today in the cool, misty air. I think we both needed it. We started at Press Cafe and followed the Trinity River until we reached Tim Love’s Woodshed Smokehouse (about 4.5 miles RT) before turning around. For a minute I thought of going as far as the zoo, but figured I might have trouble getting an Uber with a big dog if I gave out before I could get back to the car! #longwalks #capturedinthemoment #dogwalk #trinityriver #mistymornings (at Woodshed Smokehouse) https://www.instagram.com/p/CH_e_63nVqV/?igshid=173rmjmlrovrd
