Loved writing since childhood

My five children/five grandchildren who supply me with more than enough material to write about
Fascinating nature, wildlife, and beauty all around us
From the ever-changing seasons to the innate ability of nature to rebound - the northern lights, the awesome black bear, the gentleness of a white-tail deer, and the wonder of a clear lake on a summer day -
Nature deserves to be noticed, appreciated and valued in its entirety.
