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.”

Libellula pulchella

Twelve-spotted Skimmer female.

Two males, one missing half a hindwing.

Good chance of seeing these on Sunday on my last Green-Wood Bugging Out Walk of the year. There may still be tickets available…

    I am so glad you are educating kids about nature through your Greenwood walks. I was fortunate growing up with a backyard to play in in a residential neighborhood. Yards and gardens and parks were always there for me to enjoy. Thanks for introducing the younger folks to the nature near them! 🤗🌱🐢
