My work in education, landscape architecture, and sustainability supports nature, wilderness, habitats, and native wildlife and wildflowers. 

Nature Notes, in my Daily Blog, include:
8 AM temperature and weather
2 PM temperature and weather
Phenology that I observe in southwest Michigan.
Phenology includes the change of plants and animals from month to month or season to season, throughout the year. For example, an apple tree has flowers and new leaves in the spring, dark green leaves and ripening apples in the summer, ripe apples and leaves fall off in the fall, and the branches have no leaves in the winter. Be aware of your local phenology: when do certain plants flower?, when do certain birds migrate? etc.
Plus, my daily blog includes photos each day, usually of seasonal flowers in current bloom, nature class activities, and other natural and cultural features in the community landscape.
