Wish I had found iNat long ago! Family used to call me “bottoms up” because I was forever inspecting beach and forest specimens. Love seeing everyone’s observations and finding those I’ve not yet seen in person! “Discovered” slime molds in the past year or so and an entire new world has opened up!

Moved to Juneau, Alaska in 2001 from Washington State. Juneau can sometimes seem dark and gray, but the variety of colors and textures is amazing when I look through my observations. So happy to be here - especially during “lockdown.”
