The year of the snake is off to a rocky start, so here is a species who is a rock specialist. Let’s thrive in the rocks like these little snakes.

It's been a damn dark week for so many of my friends and our community for so many reasons. Please don't stop reaching towards a brighter day. Have faith that it will come. Be kind to each other, and keep looking up.

At our company’s annual celebration last night I was voted Number One Nature Nerd by my colleagues. Since I work with some of the best biologists in the business, I’m incredibly honored and I vow to try and live up to my title.

Did you know I also do pottery? I don’t sell them yet, but I would like to find interesting ways to combine my photography and/or local native species into my ceramics (and maybe sell those).

Note: the drawings in the last photo are underglaze transfers by Elan Transfers and are not my design.
