One of my favorite photos from Sunday.

What an amazing shot by Milledge Austin on Sunday’s tour to Stallings Island.

I’ve always wondered why the hissing trees have a population of juvenile skinks on it. Seems like the last place they would thrive but turns out that water snakes prefer aquatic prey and only eat skinks in rare occasions. Makes me wonder if they know how close they are to each other or if the snake is really doing that great of a job camouflaging.

Speaking of Skinks🦎 Ever wonder why baby skinks have bright blue tails? That vibrant blue is actually a survival superpower! It draws predators’ attention away from their vital organs. If attacked, the skink can drop its tail, leaving it behind to wiggle and distract the predator while the lizard safely escapes.As skinks grow into adulthood, this bright blue naturally fades away into shades of gray, brown, or olive. Nature is pretty amazing, isn’t it?

Some of my favorite pics from kayaking over the long weekend. Even the animals are ready for a break in the weather from some torrential rain.

I wasn’t a Kyle Busch fan, but I’m glad I was able to see him race, and even witness one of his wins in person at Bristol. He will go down as one of the greatest to ever do it. Photos range from 2006 at Atlanta (when I had my first experience on pit road during qualifying thanks to a family friend) through the All Star Race in 2011.

Graduation Season: Time to celebrate

The reactions as the graduates realize they’ve officially done it is just the best.

Graduation Season: It’s a blur

They say your time in (insert level of schooling here) goes by in a flash. Life does that, and so I wanted to capture some images that spoke to just how it felt.

Graduation Season: That Feeling of Accomplishment

I love capturing the moment after our grads have their academic hood placed over their heads and over their shoulders. You can just tell the joy, relief, and excitement.
