Lifetime observer of the natural world.....botany, sea life, amphibians, aviary, insects, arthropods, butterflies/moths, mollusks...all that creep, crawl, slither, fly, and swim or stay stationary and simply grow....moss, lichen, algae. I am not an expert in any of these worlds. I simply appreciate their presence. I'm always in awe when these fragile parts of our environment courageously show themselves to this human traveler.
