Eastern Box Turtle (Terrapene carolina carolina). Ran into this guy on this morning's walk. V was quick to sniff him out. We see this guy in the morning after heavy storms. He wouldn't sit still for me to photograph so I shot a few frames and let him on his way. I'm sure we will meet again... #turtle #easternboxturtle #backyard #backyardwildlife #animalphotography #wildlife

Probably should save this for the one year mark but V is doing great and it's sometimes hard to believe she had surgery. Warm weather is helping. My rendition of FrankenDog. #v #blackdog #blackandwhite #blackbeast #dog #dogphotography #dogsofinstagram #distressed

Eastern Carpenter Bee - Xylocopa virginica. Female I believe. A bit excessive on the pinning but I'm sure I'll get more economical with practice. I spread the wings improper. They should be touching to form one wing by standards. This is my learning curve. #insect #macrophotography #insectphotography #insectsofinstagram #carpenterbee #easterncarpenterbee #bee #entomology #insectcollection

Bug season is upon us. Unfortunately these guys won't be back till 2021 #magicicada but I've begun my 2015 collecting as of a couple of days ago. I think it's going to be a muggy summer so the insects should be plentiful. #cicada #insectsofinstagram #insectphotography #macrophotography #periodicalcicada #insect

Outtake from a shoot with Mr Benjapathmongkol for FedTech magazine. It's always hit and miss with government shoots. #editorialportrait #editorial #outtake #fedtech #portrait #profile

That one time V tasted the ocean... Pretty sure she'll try next time too. With the same results. #killed bulbils #blackdog #blackandwhite #bnw #canine #dog #dogphotography #dogsofinstagram #oceantasting
