Retired biochemist, then did some work as a scientific editor. I enjoy hiking, dancing, showshoeing, and other vigorous pursuits, and put in some time at our food bank. In winter, I spend some time transcribing handwritten records into digital records for various nature-related, historical, and biomedical projects on the citizen science site Zooniverse.
I've been tramping around for decades, studying habitats and photographing nature. My particular interests and joys are in landscapes, adaptations, and interdependence. I have great respect for tenacity -- the things that make it in the desert, and in the city. I was recruited to iNaturalist by Cullen. iNat presented me with the exciting possibility that, potentially, there's some use for all those photos. So here ya go.
