Roadside botanizing leads to so many exciting finds like this Southwestern Prickly Poppy (Argemone pleiacantha) which is rather uncommon in more natural areas. People definitely look at you funny, but they’re the ones missing out! 😉 . . #poppy #southwest #southwesternpricklypoppy #roadsidebotany #botany #botanizing #flower #botanical #botanicalwomen #plant #plants #plantlovers #az #arizona #nature #naturephotography #naturelovers #explore #plantloversunite #roadside #photographer #womeninscience (at Why, Arizona)

The fern house at the #GarfieldParkConservatory in Chicago has been growing for over 100 years and it shows. Every layer of the glass house is dense with a variety species. Pileas, selaginellas, cycads, and liverworts. It looks like you stepped into the Paleozoic. . . #ferns #fernhouse #conservatory #conservatorygarden #botanicalgardens #glasshouse #garfieldpark #lush #green #naturelovers #plantlovers #plants #tropicalplants #urbangardeners #greenhouse (at Garfield Park Conservatory)

Looking through some old photos since winter hasn’t produced many new ones. Thankful @matt_in_trees caught this moment of pure bliss while I was practicing my taxidermy skills on this gorgeous but unfortunately roadkilled fox squirrel. Sometimes, you’ve gotta find some creative ways to get through the long winter months... . . #taxidermyart #taxidermy #roadkill #winter #hobbies #naturelovers #nature #skinninsquirrels #dissection #oddities

Tried my first real attempt (not on my dining room table with improper tools) to mount a bird specimen. Thanks to @nic_nicole_cole for putting his together. Can’t wait to see if I can make it look real when I’m done messing with it. We do have some fatal collisions at the nature center and around town. Why not put tragedy to an educational purpose. #taxidermy #mounts #birds #bird #cardinal #stuffedanimals #museumspecimens #nature #naturelovers

A day spent in a world of green can make this bitter cold winter tolerable. Macro view of the underside of a fern. . . #fern #macro #sorei #spores #ferns #conservatory #conservatorygardens #botanicalgardens #chicago (at Garfield Park Conservatory)

I haven’t posted anything to my feed in a long time and to be honest I just haven’t felt like it. Ive been working a ton and none of the work I’m doing is thought provoking or interesting. I haven’t felt creative or inspired. I’ve felt so tired and a little exhausted by the grind. Even more so by the pressure I put on myself to feel inspired when I don’t. I’d like to think it’s just that it’s winter but who really knows. I think it’s just reality that sometimes bouts of life are really rather mundane. There is a lot of truth to the whole happiness is a journey thing. It does take patience to find inspiration in the slower times of life. In the words of #bigmoneysalvia “I guess life is just a quick series of bursts of happiness that you have to hold onto as hard as you can before they fade away.” The holidays can be tough so reach out if you need to talk to someone ♥️ . . 🌞 . . #holidaze #retail #fakeittillyoumakeit #mundane #everydayspaces #work #natureofwinter #winter #struggleofwinter #happiness #internetcommentetiquette #salviaerik #commentiquette

Everyone is entitled to their own style of decorating, I get bummed when I see those trendy and themed Christmas trees. Every ornament on this tree means something to me and putting on my records and looking at them all carefully is one of my favorite new Christmas traditions. I know where I got it, who gave it to me, whether it was one I remember inheriting from my dad or grandmother. At times it’s hard to be away for the holidays, but making our home my home has filled me with love and gratitude. . . #christmas #christmastree #traditions #hygge #cozy #christmaslights #nostalgia #home #homefortheholidays #holidays #christmasspirit #christmasdecorating
