To me, the calendar we use to satisfy the keepers of vital statistics is an arbitrary reckoning that ignores the seasons.

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?
The Autumn Journal is below. The others are not, (yet!).
