I am one of those rare teens who would rather spend a day hiking or photographing wildlife than go to a concert or dance. Give me a camera and an insect net and I am happy. Give me a swamp or a field and I am a thrilled to watch and learn. Give me a plot of land, and I'll soon have the plain soil converted to a fruitful garden. This blog is just a place for me to share the latest natural wonder (among other utterly unrelated things), as well as record it for my own sake. Some day I hope to be a naturalist, a teacher, and a mother, but right now I am happy to learn everything I can in every field of study.
