The view today from 2,200 meters. This was a tough hike for me, as my Florida lungs and legs were struggling, but after several rests along the way, I did it! This definitely vies for best view I've ever seen, and the hard work made it even more beautiful. #kananaskis #kananaskiscountry #lifegoals
@picoides_chick and I made it to the Canadian Rockies yesterday and woke up to a beautiful crisp morning surrounded by mountains #rockies #canada #alberta #kananaskis #kananaskiscountry
First day in Canada for a three week adventure. After brunch with old friends and a visit to an awesome farmers market, Emily and I took the Edmonton High Rail tour. The railcar was built in 1912! I loved the experience and am very grateful for the volunteers who run the tours. #railcar #edmonton #vacation
Gene Lollis rides across a section of working wildlands at Buck Island Ranch that has been protected as part of a conservation easement. This area naturally slows the flow of water heading to Lake Okeechobee, which helps prevent the toxic green slime problem happening in parts of Florida. As rural lands disappear due to land development, easements like this become more important. #floridastewards #floridacowboy #heritage #therealflorida #keepflwild #conservation #conservationphoto
Opening and closing cattle gates while on horseback is second nature for third generation cattleman Lacey Leitner. Lacey works at Buck Island Ranch in the Northern Everglades. The ranch, run as both a cow-calf operation and biological field station, participates in conservation easement and water management programs. These are important tools in combating the toxic green slime problem occurring in some of Florida's waterways. #conservation #floridastewards #conservationphotography #ranching #cattleman #cowboy

Me and @picoides_chick at the the 4th of July party at our house last night
I'm so excited. My wife @picoides_chick is taking over @bourbonandbirdies instagram page today
These insects are being collected to help scientists understand local biodiversity and the health of the ecosystem. They will be preserved in natural history collections and should stay in good shape for hundreds of years, so scientists can continue to learn from them. They were caught as part of a research internship project by @karguez13 at @archboldstation #stem #bugs #biology #entomology #therealflorida #conservation #floridainsects
Today I had the chance to visit Red Hill to see entomologist Katherine Arquez in action. Katherine specializes in beetles and has been testing her own beetle trap designs as part of her internship at @archboldstation #conservation #entomology #stem #sciencewoman #floridastewards #floridainsects
The scrub is in bloom with tarflower. Now is the time! Take that trip you've been planning to the Florida scrub. #keepflwild #therealflorida #tarflower #flnativeplants
Seasonal ponds like this one are wellsprings of life amid a landscape of sandy desert-like scrub habitat. There are hundreds of wetlands at @archboldstation
