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.”

Walk in the Woods

North of the city… old farm fields abutting isolated old growth.

Wild Sarsaparilla.

Polypody ferns above the reach of deer.

Two-leaved Toothwort?

Lycogala, Wolfs Milk.

Dwarf Ginseng.

Common Brown Cup?

Lots of Skunk Cabbage.
