Capturing the beauty of biodiversity through my lens and words, I am constantly inspired by the native plant gardens outside my window.
In this section of my blog you’ll find a “journal” of sorts where I document what I see in my yard. One year, I noticed I photographed the same bird (same species I should clarify, though it could have been the same bird) on the same day a year apart. It was at that moment, that I began to wonder what other similarities were happening on or near the same time in and around my garden.
Similar to a perpetual nature journal, I began documenting special times. For example, what day did the ruby-throated hummingbird arrive this year? Or what day did we experience our first frost? Click here to read the Autumn Journal.
Autumn
A time of letting go, and a time of preparation. Perhaps the most palpable of changing seasons. Changes in light and temperature are top of mind.

The term “phenology” comes from the Greek words phaino, meaning “to appear, to come into view”, and logos, meaning “to study”. It was first introduced in 1853 by Belgian botanist Charles Morren.
