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

As John Burroughs said, “The place to observe nature is where you are.”

Giganteum

Sequoiadendron giganteum Seeds of the Giant Sequoia, Sequoiadendron giganteum. Mighty oaks from little acorns grow, and the largest trees in the world from these itty-bitty little seeds.

Speaking of interesting facts, did you know that 3/4s of all  Americans DID NOT VOTE for Donald Trump? In fact, fewer of them voted for him than for the Democratic candidate.  But, you may say, he’s the President of us all. Oh, really? Like Obama was the President of the Republicans. Sorry, but a precedent is a hard thing to break. #NotMyPresident
