I am a former feral child. Now trying to be a helpful older adult conservationist, using a camera and blog.

I am in my 7th decade. I have witnessed a lot of changes in the natural world. Many not so good. So now I photograph and share what I’m seeing in nature. My goal is to try to raise awareness of nature’s vulnerabilities and the natural wonders that can yet be lost. Especially, from our everyday lives. I also hope to highlight everyday things that we can do, or not do, that address these vulnerabilities.

I hope you enjoy your visit and don’t find me too preachy.

Steve
