Spring keeps popping through the ground everywhere!

Spring has sprung!

I can't read the thermometer, but I have a hunch it's cold out there.

​Rainbows are seen opposite from the source of illumination. There do exist secondary rainbows that require the light rays to make more turns, but these are often too faint to be seen. However, one day I looked straight up to see a rainbow around the sun (which was behind a cloud). What’s going on? Could it be formed from ice crystals instead of water droplets? Why have I never seen these before?

These are photos from my everyday way out life 2013-2017.

I'm silly.

​Sometimes whether I’m out exploring or just running errands, I see hearts. I like to think of them as little notes from God. Of course I know they are just arrangements of stone and old litter that happen by chance to resemble valentines; I’m not stupid. I’m also smart enough to realize that God must have also known they were there, known I was about to notice them, allowed it to happen, and quite possibly also put the idea in my mind that he was taking credit. If God created the entire universe, he (she? It?) must also have created these tiny pieces of it, so I can still take it the way I want. :P

​In New Hampshire, anthills all look the same. After moving to Florida, I was surprised to see gigantic sprawling ant cities of multiple holes. Even the individual hills could sometimes be in excess of twelve inches across. Strangely, many of them were only built up on one side. Some had overhanging sides. Some were made up of sand of mixed colors. Here are just a few:

​Animals are everywhere. I see them even when I’m not on an official adventure. This one I saw outside the bank:

​This one I saw on the ceiling:

​This one I saw on the carpet:

​I also saw this fleck of lettuce on the carpet that flew away:

​My mother found a mole crab at the beach and put it in my hand:

​This animal was hiding in the upper-left of this photograph I took of some fungi while visiting New Hampshire in 2014. I didn’t see it until later.

​Here are a bunch of animals I saw in either Florida or South Carolina between 2013 and 2017:

​Plants are everywhere! I see them even when I’m not on an official adventure. I sometimes like to imagine that I'm three inches tall climbing through the branches. Each is like a whole world. The following is a collection of photographs taken in Florida, New Hampshire, and Virginia between 2013-2017.

After moving from New Hampshire to Florida, I missed the mountains. Florida is very flat and mountains are hard to come by, but it makes up for this with its clouds and sunsets. The clouds always seem so vast and detailed. Each is an entire world. The sunsets are spectacular and come in more colors than the autumn leaves up north. Over the years I have accumulated a few photographs walking around the neighborhood or out on errands. Only a few of these were taken in parks.

One afternoon at Walmart I saw this giant sneezing head in the sky:

​One morning at McDonald’s I saw that the thin cloud cover overhead was collapsing:

​In Florida I see more rainbows in one year than I saw in thirty years in New Hampshire:

​One day there was a green stripe across the sky just before sunset:

I've never seen anything like this in New Hampshire.
