         Review of 2022 Blog Posts.  In 2022, in Michigan, I taught nature science and nature art classes.  I played in the winter snow and smelled the spring wildflowers.  I traveled from ocean to ocean, across the USA, to Washington, Oregon, West Virginia, and North Carolina.  In Michigan, I saw a lot of wildlife.  The fall was especially colorful with a rainbow, a moonbow, and my Sugar Maple turned super red.   See blog highlights and my favorite photos of 2022, in my daily blog.
