It pleases me enormously to know that readers like you enjoy my blog. I started it to please myself and to record and share the incredibly diverse flora and fauna surrounding my home. I had about 15 years worth of photos and wildflower journals that just lay hidden in my computer until I found a way to share them with this blog. That I can help others to notice and name the flowers and critters they come across is exactly what I hoped for.<br /> <br /> Yes I would love to collaborate with you, Jay, on creating dragonfly quilts. Send me photos of your designs.

Usually if it isn't buzzing by my head I don't notice it but I think you are changing that for me.

I admire your consistency and persistence, and the way you set your goal of wanting to know the names and followed through! Your photos are just fabulous, and I wish I had the talent to make some of them into art quilts. Those dragonflies! If ever I learn to do that well, I will contact you for permission and collaboration. I am a hiker in mid-state NY, retired English major, about your age. I frequently see in the woods many of the same blooms you have seen and appreciate much your ID. It's especially satisfying if I have managed to correctly ID a plant myself from my guidebook. That happened most recently with hairy willow herb and Polygala sanguinea (which my guidebook calls field milkwort). FYI, I found your blog through Sue Freeman's New York Outdoor Blog.
