  • This particular subspecies of cottony goldenaster (Chrysopsis gossypina ssp. cruiseana) is a very hardy member of the aster and sunflower family with strong wood stems that blooms in the cooler months of fall and winter along the white sandy beaches of the Gulf of Mexico in Alabama and the Florida Panhandle. These were growing in profusion on Pensacola, Beach, Florida.

  • A pair of Monarch butterflies "getting busy" on some sea oats making the next generation of monarchs that will continue their multi-generational migration to or from Mexico to the Northern United States and Canada. These were found and photographed on Pensacola Beach on the Florida Panhandle, which is very likely their last stop on dry land before they fly southwest over the Gulf of Mexico over hundreds of miles of open water.

  • Close-up of the bright red fruiting bodies of the jester lichen (Cladonia leporina) is an interesting member of the already interesting Cladionia lichens with their odd and often colorful fruiting bodies. What's particular about this species is their preferred habitat of dry, open sandy soils instead the typical Cladonia low-to-mid mountain forest that gets lots of rainfall. This one was found growing in mass profusion just above the high tide line in the Gulf Islands National Seashore next to Fort Pickens near Pensacola, Florida.
