Strictly amateur everything. I maintain a rather haphazard garden, mostly populated with found flowers with a side of purchased herbs and perennials. Trying to trend towards being part of a pollinator pathway. The last few summers I have cultivated plants friendly to Eastern Black Swallowtail caterpillars, and I am hoping to create a Monarch-friendly habitat as well. Some times, especially in early spring, I prowl the neighborhood with a long-ish lens and try to take bird pictures. I'm curious, but not particularly well-informed. That's about it.
