Hello, all! I live in the woods, on a small lake, about five minutes outside of a small college town in the Midwestern USA. I've always been fascinated by plants and animals of all types. My husband is a zoologist, and our daughter is also pretty much nature-obsessed. (Actual quote from her, age 3: "I don't like human beings -- only wild animals.") And then somehow we ended up with a son who is all about the machines, instead!

I post about the nature around me pretty often. That's what the "wildlife" tag on my journal is supposed to be for, although it also ended up documenting the all-too-extensive story of me trying (and mostly failing) to find homes for the family of feral cats who were living in our neighborhood (and are now living in my house).
