Backyard and Beyond

Starting out from Brooklyn, an amateur naturalist explores our world.

This blog launched in 2010 on this date with this tiny Painted Turtle and quote from S.J. Gould.

Backyard and Beyond

“We must tackle and grasp the larger, encompassing themes of our universe, but we make our best approach through small curiosities that rivet our attention — all those pretty pebbles on the shoreline of knowledge.”  — Stephen Jay Gould, Wonderful Life
