Get Out and Greet the World

Get Out and Greet the World
With all the grand variety of life on this planet, it is hard to imagine anyone not being able to find something interesting to study! From sea slugs to sundews, redpolls to resin blisters, the world presents an endless array of "WOW" upon which we can feast our eyes, ears and mind. Come take a walk with me on the wild side...

About Me

My photo
Ellen Rathbone
I have been lucky in life to get paid to do what I love: being a naturalist. As long as I can remember, I've loved the outdoors and find it endlessly fascinating. There is rarely a day that goes by during which I can't learn something new about this planet and the life on it. I hope you enjoyed my various travels around the Adirondacks and nearby environs, and that you will stick with me as I explore all the gifts Mother Nature has to offer in Michigan.
