Follow a butterfly. She will take you on quite a trail of discovery!
I am humbled to have been placed in the same sentence with names like Emerson, Thoreau, John Muir, Aldo Leopold and Mary Oliver – and Dave Bonta! And, I may steal this idea for an activity in some future workshop…

(Thank you Mavis!)
When a person loves nature and devotes their life to it, as you do, I say why not? Besides, your writing style is much more appealing.
Hey, how about that? I was also told several weeks ago that both our blogs would be used as examples of place-blogging in an environmental studies class at Penn State, but in that case it’s a bit more understandable because the prof is a friend of mine. Still, I was impressed that he’d discovered A Passion for Nature, as well, especially since he spends almost zero time online. Maybe we’re on some kind of enviromental studies list somewhere?
maybe we should collaborate to offer an online nature-writing course. we could become millionaires.
Very cool!!

Awesome Jennifer ! Congrats to you and Dave both. I always look forward to getting an email each time one of you writes a new entry to your blogs. You have very different styles, but when I read your words it is as if I am there, seeing and hearing and taking it in. And that to me is what takes the true measure of a nature lover and writer. : )
You are my FAVORITE nature writer!!!
Of them all … you are my FAVORITE!
congratulations to you both, although your readers are less surprised than you!!
Congratulations!! Your blog is educational for me and I fondly remember living in NYC and visiting friends in Upstate and Western NY – eons ago by now!! What a beautiful area!
Pretty much.
i have more reflections from the students to share soon!
