Published by L. Stevens

Spotted outside my home office window. A Carolina Anole, puffed up and feeling territorial.

Dragon’s Nest

Published by L. Stevens

Found this birds nest in my front yard, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen one with a covering of lichen before.

A few of the reptiles and millipedes I’ve spotted on my daily walks, slithering around in the warmer weather. The snake above was likely a juvenile, barely 8 inches long. Below is a smooth green snake, and finally a common millipede.

Wildflowers are blooming here in Charlotte, and I’m enjoying seeing them on my daily walks.

Shades of Gray

Bolts of gray velvet at my favorite antique mall. I love walking by this stall’s stacks of different fabrics and taking in all the colors and patterns.

Cabin Fever

Published by L. Stevens

I didn’t notice this taxidermized squirrel tucked behind the woodwork of the pub style bar in a cabin rented with my husband and sister until the second day of our stay. I had a real moment of panic that we had a live squirrel stuck in the basement pool room before I realized it was fortunately not alive.

Sunrise over Seven Devils

Sunrise in Seven Devils, NC. At times, it drives me crazy that our beagle Daisy wakes me up so early, but sights like this make up for it.

Glacial Blue in Resurrection Bay

Published by L. Stevens

Taken from a cruise ship in Seward, Alaska. The water gets its bright blue hue from glacial silt runoff from Resurrection River. The Bay and River both get their names from Alexander Baranov, who retreated to the bay during a storm that ended on Easter Sunday.
