Welcome to Floridensis

All photographs on Floridensis were composed and processed by Janson Jones, a Volusia county native raised in the tangles of the Tomoka basin and Ormond Beach. Though most posts will focus on Floridian wildlife, ecology, and environments, please note that Floridensis will also share perspectives from across the North American continent -- all the way up and west to Alaska. All photographed organisms were wild and non-captive unless explicitly noted otherwise. A species index is provided below; more general categorical links are provided in the top-banner menu. This iteration of Floridensis was born on 29 May 2019.

The TOMOKA & BULOW Circuit: Photographs from the Ormond Beach area through and around the Tomoka Basin. Includes Tomoka, Bulow Creek, North Peninsula, and Bulow Plantation Ruins State Parks.

ANOLIS Lizards: Photographs of all Anolis lizards featured on Floridensis to date. This includes native and non-native species alike, all photographed in the wild.

NERODIA Watersnakes: Photographs of all non-venomous Nerodia watersnakes featured on Floridensis to date. Includes species photographed in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and Oklahoma.

Salt Marshes & Coastal Habitats. Photographs taken on various kayak sojourns through Florida's coastal, salt marsh, and estuarine habitats.

Freshwater Habitats: Photographs taken on various kayak sojourns throughout Florida's freshwater habitats.

From Alaska to Florida, 2011: In the summer of 2011, I sojourned 7,221 miles from Alaska to Florida, exploring the vast range of North American eco-diversity, camping, hiking, and photographing along the way. From mountains to deserts, from glaciers to swamps, it was a bewilderingly awesome trip. These are the photos I collected along the way.

Tropical Storms & Hurricanes: Photographs and posts covering life beneath and within Florida's tropical storm and hurricane events.
