I’m an amateur naturalist, always learning. “Each one of us adds a little to our understanding of Nature, and from all the facts assembled arises a certain grandeur.” - Aristotle as quoted by Bradford Washburn.

I spend a lot of time exploring the Pacific Northwest and western North America, usually hiking into wilderness areas. I also try to explore any region of the world I travel to: Canada, Ecuador, Chile, Australia, New Zealand, Falkland Islands, Argentina, United Kindom and Turkey are some countries that I’ve been privileged to make naturalist’s observations.In 2020, I hope to also explore India.
