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

Pokeweed berries...early pioneers once used the juice from the berries to make ink, giving them an alternate name of Inkweed. They are a favorite treat for birds, but the plant is highly poisonous when any part is eaten. #capturedinthemoment #pokeberry #poisonousplants #inmyownbackyard #nature (at Fort Worth, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CErViIVHfgh/?igshid=1ql9zkgb312co

I have my own personal rainbow as the sunlight refracts through the water droplets of the sprinkler. #capturedinthemoment #inmyownbackyard #refraction #waterdroplets #rainbow #scienceexperiments #nature (at Fort Worth, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD2JBYHHiGw/?igshid=6zqk7i2rfwgo
