SNAPJAX STORIES

In this week's SnapJAX Stories, a first-time snapper saw a fire truck with the lights on at a Southside gas station and knew it was an emergency. She pulled out her phone and started recording. Luckily, this story had a happy ending.

One of our snappers was sending pictures of animals at the Jacksonville Zoo. It turned out he was a volunteer and he has quite the story about the zoo and how it started a lifelong love in more ways than one.

In this week's episode of SnapJax Stories, you never know what you'll find in the wilderness. Well one of our snappers Candace Watkins knows she's always going to see something wild on her 30 acre farm and she's going to have her camera ready.

This week’s SnapJAX stories brought me to a rural part of our area -- to a house on 40 acres in Palatka where we were looking for something that only 1% of the population will ever see: a pink grasshopper. Jackie Green, who owns the property, has enjoyed such a rare sighting TWICE.

This week's SnapJAX Stories took us away from the beach and into the heart of Jacksonville into Kim Owens' backyard. It reminded me that there's beauty and connection growing all around us.

Ever catch a sunset that fills the sky with vibrant shades of purple, red and yellow? There's a meteorological reason for that.

A picture captured tracks from a pregnant sea turtle who changed her mind in the middle of the night.

The story behind the pictures for Ed Van Voorhis, one of our biggest SnapJAX users, is a story with heart. He shares his adventures daily on SnapJAX to show the beauty and peace of nature.
