Going Wild in Cincy: Can you find wild animals in Cincinnati? Well, let's say animals you wouldn't necessarily want in your house. Anyway, here are some pics over the years of different specimens I've encountered around the Queen City, especially Spring Grove Cemetery and Arboretum and the Great Parks of Hamilton County.

Meditations on Yellowstone, Part IV: "Civilization Good, Wilderness Bad."

As the 150th anniversary of the Little Bighorn approaches, I examine the competing worldviews of the United States and the Lakota Nation and their respective imperial ambitions as they played out in the one of the last true wildernesses in 19th century America—the Yellowstone. (This is a long one, so settle in!)

How Time (Fire)Flies: Here's a retrospective of the last six years of the photinus carolinus (Synchronous Fireflies) from in and around Elkmont, Tennessee, in Great Smoky Mountain National Park. A couple of these pics are in my book, "Illuminating Nature," on sale now!

What a thrill! A young man in Vallejo, California, just submitted his painting entitled "Where Poets Grow" and it was based on a photo from my book, "Illuminating Nature"! I've included a link to the original Instagram post acknowledging his work. His name is Jackson and I would like to extend my personal thanks and congratulations to him! And thanks to Alibi Bookshop - Vallejo, CA for informing me of this news! Great work!

Illuminating Independent Bookstore Day! I've picked up some new followers since last Independent Bookstore Day, so it seemed appropriate to once again recognize these amazing places that were so instrumental in helping me get my first book out to the public back in 2024! Please go out today and support your local bookstore and, oh, by the way, if you're looking for a nice gift for graduation, Mother's Day, Father's Day, or just something to inspire you for a summer roadtrip, might I suggest "Illuminating Nature"? Just a thought. Anyway, thanks again to all these wonderful stores! (And to and .w.norton for publishing my book!) And if you don't have.a local store, you can visit the link in my bio to find some independent booksellers!

Rescued in Retirement, Cherry Blossom Edition: I've been going back through some pics that I never got around to editing, and lo and behold I had A LOT of images from the Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, DC, back when I visited in 2019. Here are the first few that I've been working on:
