I encountered this salamander as I was crossing a creek at The Devil's Bathtub. It took awhile to get a decent picture because it kept hiding in crevices and under rocks in the water. It was about 5 inches long and a noticeably brighter section of its head in comparison to its body.

Agkistrodon contortrix will produce a cucumber smelling musk if they are touched! They are also exceedingly venomous. The fangs are used to secrete a venom into their prey. This venom will break down the red blood cells making it easier for the snake to swallow it's victim whole. These snakes are in the subfamily of crotalinae. For our area. (North East) They are normally a light brown marked with darker bands. I found him/her laying in between the crack of some rocks soaking up the sun. Don't worry, I didn't touch our friend! I just got close enough to see the beautiful scales. If you know how to tell the sex, please comment below!

These flowers were spotted alongside the creek trail to Stiles Falls. They ranged from white, light pink, and this lavender color. The leaves on the base of the stem appear to be fuzzy. Each flower was about 1 1/2 inches across.

I found this beautiful flower on the New River Valley Trail in Southwest Virginia. It was a sunny day, and the temperature was around 60F. It was approximately 2 1/2 cm in diameter. After researching, I think it could possibly be a wood anemone.

The body of the crawdad was 2 1/2 inches long (about the length of my pinky finger)
He was found under a rock in a more shallow area of the creek.

I found this horseshoe crab at my families beach house in Emerald Isle North Carolina! It was dead and had washed up on shore. They typically have a long tail.. The horseshoe crab was about 6-8 inches in length and width. If the crab still had its tail, however, it would be a lot longer!
It was observed in early March, so it was only about 65 degrees outside. In the summer time you can find live Horseshoe Crabs at the edge of the ocean.

These flies are characterized by their unique blue color and are known to eat dead and decaying matter. This fly was found on top a bunch of leaves and sticks right near the new river near bisset park. It was a sunny day and 70 degrees outside. He would fly from one leaf to another. The fly is about the size of my finger tip and about 1 and a half centimeters long and about a half of a centimeter wide.

Found on the base of a forested hill on my land. There were many of them. Appalachians call these creasy greens, and they are edible.

I found this plant while hiking near the Roanoke river/Virginia Explore Park right off the Blue Ridge Parkway in Roanoke County, VA. It was located off of a game trail right on the edge of the path. The tree cover was open above and gave the plant a lot of sun light. I believe it is a wineberry plant.

This picture was taken at Selu Conservatory in Radford, Virginia. I was there working with children and happened to see this and took a picture of it. It was a warm day with a temperature around 80 degrees. It was also a really clear day. It wasn't really big. The best way to describe it was it was a little bigger then a regular fly, but not much bigger. I had to take the picture really quick since I was working with children so I did not have time to compare size with something else to show. I did good to snap this picture really quick. It was right at an reconstructed old farm house and with just grass and a gravel road. There was barns and a cow field with cows nearby as well.

I found this tomato like plant on a broken branch near the New River. Each ball was the size of a nickel and light orange in color. The branch was not attached to anything- it looked like it fell off. I was not able to identify the rest of the plant.
