floridensis

Welcome to Floridensis

Floridensis is the photographic playground of Janson Jones. A native to Ormond Beach in Volusia county, Florida, I spend much of my free time studying and photographing the natural world around me — especially the tangled biodiversity of peninsular Florida. This website is an extension of these passions.

All photographs and organisms are categorizied meticulously by geographic location, animal type, and species (as listed below). You'll also a number of galleries and projects linked in the top menu just below the banner. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask or contact me directly.
