Welcome to Floridensis, the photographic playground of Janson Jones. A native to Volusia county, Florida, I spend much of my free time (which is never enough) studying and photographing the natural world around me -- especially the tangled biodiversity of peninsular Florida. Floridensis is a photographic celebration of that biodiversity; it's also a means for me to organize and document the contexts surrounding my little wildlife-photographic encounters. You can always contact me directly at jansonjones@icloud.com.
