Champion of the AMATEUR naturalist, in the best sense of the word. Peering, questioning, following, watching. And of course, drawing. Even if someone else might have discovered how hornets excavate the raw material for their paper nests, when YOU find it out, catch them in the act doing it, then YOU have discovered it.

The profile picture i chose reflects my excitement about finding pure nuggets of azurite in a layer in the Utah desert, where I'll be moving shortly. Moab.
