It's the same impulse that used to lead me to rearrange my room every once in a while when I was growing up... The background photo shows wild bergamot (monarda) and unspecified grasses as seen in late July.
...birdwatching and other encounters with wildlife ... observations of local natural areas and bodies of water ... weather and phenology ... and local farmers, food and gardening. As the seasons progress, I touch on most of these in turn. Welcome.
About the Photography
So far the photos on this site have all been taken with my digital point-and-shoot, the Nikon Coolpix 7900. I have recently tried some rudimentary digiscoping using the Coolpix and our 15-year-old Kowa spotting scope -- no digiscoping bracket, just my hit-or-miss attempts at lining everything up right. Sometimes I get lucky.

I like the new banner. Where was that photo taken?
Right along the natural area east of the soccer fields, Mary. Dave and I were walking there a couple of weeks ago.
No wonder it looked familiar!
