blue ridge outdoors

In one week, I have biked...


backpacked...


 kayaked...
















trail run, sewn a pair of pj shorts, picked blackberries, and interviewed for two jobs. I love summer!

Did you know McDowell County has a cypress swamp? I kayaked from the hot sun, past willows and murdock, under and into this cool lagoon.


Ecology studies the interrelationship between organisms and their environment. It originates from the German word okologie, first used in 1873.

This blog documents one organism's interactions with her environment.
What would be the hope of being personally whole in a dismembered society, or personally healthy in a landscape scalped, scraped, eroded, and poisoned, or personally free in a land entirely controlled by the government [or corporations], or personally enlightened in an age illuminated only by TV? - Wendell Berry
