My writing is part of my lifelong fascination with all spects of plants and animals. My homepage at Naturepieces explains more.
My older sites about dog behavior and pets, especially the more unusual pets, contain information additional to my work here and at Naturepieces.
If you have time to look over Suite101, you might agree with me that Suite101 is a useful resource for information about nature and many other topics.
Enjoy!
