Backyard and Beyond

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

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

  1. Great shots! I remember a few years back the Red-Admiral was so numerous they were even going into the subways.

    1. Booms and busts. Last year was a bumper year for Common Buckeye, but I’ve only seen a handful this year.

    I love getting these mini-fieldguides. I get a splash of beauty combined with a chance to retain some field-useful information. No looking through mountains of stuff I’m not likely to see. Great photos of what could easily be in my patch of green.

  3. Way more butterflies than I am finding. Lovely set.
