The most reliable and accessible place to see an American crocodile near Miami is in the retention pond outside the Palmetto Bay Village Center. Your toddler might get bitten by fire ants on the lawn.

This is an incredible photo of an Earth eclipse, shot at night by the Artemis II crew when this side of our planet was lit only by reflected moonlight. Please read the accompanying article. It only takes 2 minutes & the brief explanations of the science, astronomy, & photography here are amazing. 🧪
I like to grow out the mystery weeds until I can identify them just make sure they're not native wildflowers. This one in my garden turned out to be field forget me nots. A very dainty beauty, which is unfortunately from Eurasia. I fed it to the chickens. 🌱

The flower is a bit tattered, but I grew this woods rose from a tiny seedling! This is the first flower ever, and it's delightfully fragrant. I'm so excited for future years, and all the pollinators that will visit it.
