My link to nature began with birds. Over a decade ago, I picked up a pair of binoculars and started watching birds from my balcony. Little did I know then that this was the beginning of what would become a source of wonder and joy.

As anyone who has a connection to nature knows, the wild calls out to the deepest parts of ourselves. My hope is to retreat to the wild at some point in my life. But until then, I write stories about nature.
